I made this for the month and it’s amazing!
My only suggestion for a batch of this size is to precook the chicken in small batches so you can properly brown it. I plan to add a big helping of spinach next time to up the veggie serving. Great recipe!!!
6 servings
3lbs of chicken (upped to 8oz / serving)
51oz of bone broth (kept it thick!)
Loads of sun dried tomatoes and pesto 😋

This is up there! One of the best we have made on here so far. Agree with others, not as much stock needed.

Family loved this, husband said best supper we’ve had in ages! Went pesto heavy, & less stock. Spinach would work well too. 10/10. 😊

So delicious. I went heavy on the pesto and sun-dried tomato and added some crunch, toasted pine nuts and garlic croutons. Easy, quick and yummy.

This was so good & tasty! You definitely need less stock I’d say about 750ml. I accidentally bought Thai basil so I left it out, didn’t miss it! Will add spinach next time. Thanks!

Such a good recipe!!! I added more pesto, less stock, and some zucchini (as read in the comments). Perfect for meal prep as well, my other servings I popped into the freezer for another day! Thanks for sharing Meg

Used quorn chicken instead, took a little longer to cook than the recipe said but when it was done it was delish. Warming, filling and super easy to cook. Perfect for a cold autumn evening! Thank you.

This is a straight banger, certified 10/10. Lucious, voluptuous, decadent and... im running out of adjectives. But hear me out: You seriously will not regret making this. It's so easy to prepare, it doesn't take a lot of time and it tastes DELICIOUS... I gotta say, this recipe is a keeper! Thanks Meg 💕
