    Divine! What a lovely dish! I made this for dinner tonight and it came out super good. I served it with Michette Rolls (sliced into halves, buttered with a spread of garlic, oregano & salted butter (all 3 churned in a processor, then topped with slices of tomato and some fresh chunks of Mozzarella - My husband and I were literally in heaven. Thanks for this recipe, Rachael Ray. We love you!

    Yummmieee as Rachel always says! This recipe is a double winner: #1 a great, tasty and easy chicken meal (good leftover on salad the next day #2 a terrific basic pesto sauce for a mulitude of uses...I love pesto! I did use chicken tenders cause that's what I had on hand. Nor could I find just a package of Arugula the day I wanted to make this. Soooo I got creative and used Spring Mix salad that had some Arugula in it along with the basil. Tasted really good and I continue making it this way.

    Hmmm, yummy!!! I loved this dish. Very easy to make, lots of flavour, and pretty healthy. And the combo of this chicken and the Caesar Pasta was great. A definite keeper in the quick weeknight arsenal.

    I'm allergic to nuts, but wanted to try this - still came out delicious just omitting the pistachios.

    Made this dish yesterday and quite disappointed. I broiled chicken with pesto and tasted bland. Today I used the leftover pesto and made chicken again. This time I put salt and pepper on chicken first,then smeared pesto on poultry. Instead of broiling I sauteed in a pan with some olive oil. Tasted much better than yesterday. Grated parmesan on top when serving.

    I used fresh basil from my first homegrown plant project : Wow, what a great pesto! I used pistachios as well. I used the extra pesto to coat some pasta and dinner was done in minutes! My boyfriend had seconds : Thanks RR!

    I substituted baby spinach for the Arugula in my pesto and HOLY COW did it add serious flavor to my chicken. I served it over homemade baby spinach fettuccine pasta...KILLER!!!!!

    Originally intended to make the Ceasar Spaghetti, but the pesto chicken is so good that we have never bothered with the spaghetti. I just made this to take to a party and it rocked. Have tried using different pesto's but the arugula still is the best. Thank you Rachael...you rock!

    The toasted pistachios really come though with every bite and both the prep time and cook time on the indoor grill pan makes this a welcome Summer dish!
    Although, next time I will just pair with a salad or eat it as a stand alone dish as I couldn't groove on the Cesar Spaghetti.
