“Loved this!! I agree with Rapunzel (plus, I like at least one veggie in nearly every meal). I started by sautéing some onions and a chopped yellow bell pepper before adding the chicken. Gave the veggies a quick few minute head start before adding the protein. ” — a cook, 5★
“I loved this recipe! My grocery store did not have the chili paste so I used tomato paste and mixed it with chili seasoning until I got my desired heat. I also used the entire small jar of pesto. This was so delicious and I love that you can modify it so easil” — a cook, 5★
