    I don't tend to rate unless it was god-awful or brilliant, and this was sooooo good. Added a small amount more of the half and half, but other than that, didn't change a thing.

    Creamy Pesto Chicken and Linguine, Easy to make, this chicken is wonderfully tasty and rich Not for those watching your fat intake, but hey splurging every now and then isn’t a bad idea ;), I don’t tend to rate unless it was god-awful or brilliant, and this was sooooo good Added a small amount more of the half and half, but other than that, didn’t change a thing , Delicious recipe that even my 4 & 2 year old liked and my husband loved! It definitely takes the 35 min to cook (with you standing at the stove), so I probably won’t make this a lot I added my homemade pesto sauce which I think makes a difference
