Delicious I love the Asian flavors and was so easy and healthy too. I didn't change a thing was delicious just as it was. Pros: quick and nutritious
My very picky daughter who can't boil water fixed this with me last night and it was a hit!! We will fix this again and again. I did tweek as I always do by changing to sesame oil and adding garlic (everything should have garlic) but she is adding this to her "I can cook this" list. Beats Ramen at college!! Thanks!!

Disappointed with recipe ingredients I was disappointed when I pulled up the recipe and there was no basil in it. I was under the impression that the term "pesto" referred to something prepared with basil. So after looking at the ingredients decided this dish was not what I was expecting to fix for dinner tonight.
I used tamari instead of low-sodium soy sauce and had to add more lime juice to overcome the saltiness. Also removing the stems from the cilantro was time-consuming; next time I wouldn't be so compulsive about it. John E
Very good. The cilantro pesto almost tasted like a Japanese seaweed salad. We used tamari and kept the cilantro stems. Jodie
Made this for guests last night- it was easy and delicious! Tweaked a little by adding garlic. We loved the blend of flavors it was sort of an asian taste. I will definately make this again- definately loved the chicken but next time I may try it over grilled shrimp or fish. Kristin New Jersey
Most soy sauces contain gluten If you are making this for someone who has a reaction to gluten make sure your soy sauce does not contain wheat. It is the first ingredient in most soy sauces.
Husband Approved My husband loved this recipe and so did I! It was so easy to make with just a few ingredients. I used chicken breast chunks instead of tenders. The cilantro pesto really is refreshing but better than regular pesto! It's not oily. I used spaghetti instead of quinoa. Either way OMG! I am making this again tonight but using shrimp. Can't wait to go home and make it! Pros: Tasty tangy fast delicious genious Cons: None
The marinated chicken was okay but especially LOVED the pesto. I ate it by itself when the chicken was gone. Did add a bit of grapeseed oil to the pesto when I prepared it. Other than that followed the recipe.
