  Loved this. Have made it a few times now. I use shop bought pesto to save time and I also just use normal cherry tomatoes because they are cheaper. We use wholegrain bread to make our own breadcrumbs. Delicious!

  Made this for my boyfriend and he loved it! I used shop bought Pesto as is much cheaper and served with tagliatelle with a tomato sauce. The cherry tomatoes definitely make the dish perfect, was very nice. I will try with light Philly next time.

  Great recipe, only reason I didnt give it 5 stars was because I wrapped the chicken in pancetta and used low fat philly. Also added a bit of garlic and chilli. Roasted plenty of tomatoes, mainly as we presently have a glut!! Will deffo make again.

  Really nice. Easy to make, has to b mascarpone for me Philly too sweet. Used shop bought pesto and couldn't find pine nuts at tesco. I put some of the creamy pesto on top of the chicken b4 putting on breadcrumbs. Very tasty and will make again.

  My daughter declared she was cooking dinner, first time for everything! Picked this for her and to be fair she did very well and served a very edible dish. This was quick and simple to do and very tasty.

  Made this tonight. Really quick and delicious. The family loved it. Why would you buy pesto? Homemade is so much better!

  My boyfriends favourite dish! Sometimes as a variation, i mix the marscapone and pesto with a basic white sauce, then top with pine nuts and grated cheese - yummy

  Just made this tonight and used ready made sundried tomato pesto and light cream cheese. Also used sunflower and pumpkin seeds as had no pinenuts. It turned out perfectly and I will definitely make again as it was very easy and only a few dishes were used so there was not much to clean up.

  I love this recipe! I tried it out on my husband for dinner during the week and loved it so much I'm making it for a dinner party tonight. It's so simple and easy to make. I had extra pesto left over which I had with pasta the next day for lunch. Even the pesto recipe is so easily made I will never buy a jar of pesto again.
