  Used shop bought pesto, very easy to make and very delicious. A real crowd pleaser and will definitely make it again

  Had high expectations, but thought it was a little bland. The breadcrumbs only turned soggy. But I loved the idea and the concept, might make it again and do some changes.

  I substituted shop bought pesto as short on time. It was very tasty. Definitely a winner.

  I did this for a dinner for 8 and it went down a storm - everyone thinks I'm an amazing cook now! Followed the recipe exactly except it needed a bit longer in the oven, it didn't brown like I expected. Even with the longer cooking, the chicken was still really tender. I'd fully recommend this recipe and am doing it again this weekend for our next dinner guests!

  Made this and had home made pesto left over. Put it in a jar and covered with a little olive oil. Kept in the fridge for 2 weeks and tasted just as good. Next time I will double the pesto. Someone mentioned the recipe a little messy. I felt the same although I hope I have resolved the problem as it was the pesto that was the messy bit.

  Super dish. We all love a bit of sauce, so doubled up on the marscapone and pesto quantities and baked in the dish alongside the chicken. Mopped it up with crusty bread and a green salad. Yum!

  Fantastic recipe & so easy too! No more dipping stuffed chicken breasts in egg & then in breadcrumbs....no need now, all far too messy. The crumbs were lovely, golden & crispy & the pine nuts were a great addition. I've made this loads of times & it's always great!

  I read the reviews of this dish and everyone says it's a fantastic dish so I must be doing something wrong... I agree it's very easy to make but the mascapone/pesto mixture always runs out of the chicken so in the end it's all in the dish nothing left at all in the chicken breasts. There is also no way it takes 20 to 25 min if you use normal size chicken breast, I cook mine for at least 1/2 hr so the chicken isn't pink. I made this dish several times, I agree it's taste good but it never looks like the picture above!

  Have made this many times, sometimes with the breadcrumbs and sometimes wrapped the chicken in parma ham. Always goes down well with everyone

  Yum! I used homemade pesto with low fat philly and wrapped it in a slice of parma ham. I served it with roasted mediterranean vegetables and lentils.

  Lovely recipe, will make my own pesto next time, but it was delicious as it is. I did use low fat cheese instead of mascarpone as suggested previously.

  This recipe was delicious! so simple and easy to make. I served it with tender-stem broccoli, asparagus and new potatoes and it made such a fantastic, quick midweek meal! I substituted the mascarpone for philadelphia as i prefer the taste and went a bit crazy on the basil in the pesto (i just cant get enough of it!). It did take longer than 20 minutes to cook however, I don't know whether this was due to my oven or the size of the chicken breasts but i will definitely be making this one again and can strongly recommend this recipe to anyone. Delicious!!
