Was looking for a recipe using pesto and really like this one. I cut back on the cream sauce, especially the butter, flour and cream. I used milk and it turned out fine. Also used the Whole Wheat broad noodles. We really enjoyed the recipe. Thanks.

I added chopped celery and peas. Only had a little heavy cream, used milk to make up the rest. Turned out great!

This is soooooo good! A similar dish was served at my son's wedding and I was ecstatic to find the recipe here on cooks!!! When I make it I cut the chicken into really small pieces and omitted the almonds. Next time I will add the peas.
