It's wonderful since we've been trying to eat less take-out. So far, I've rounded up 4 or 5 recipes that even the picky people in the family like. ;-)<br /><br />One question on this recipe: If I put cheese on top of the chicken, doesnJulie R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01227481896936143987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-82296359249568336622009-12-01T18:26:00.086-08:002009-12-01T18:26:00.086-08:00Hi Brenda, the pesto provides the needed liquid, a...Hi Brenda, the pesto provides the needed liquid, and the chicken creates it's own juice.

I was so full from just the chicken and potato, I didn't really need anything else to eat.

I use it all the time now! With my husband's new job he has a very long commute and I currently pick him up and drop him off at the train which is a 45 minute round trip. This makes having dinner on the table rather tricky because I'm not home to make it last minute.

I did overcook it a tad. I had some huge chicken breasts and they were frozen, so I thought they'd take longer to cook than they did. But, it didn't do any harm to taste, just presentation as they were falling apart some. My fault, but they were still wonderful.
