I am giving this a five but my pesto didn't turn out right, could be I used a blender rather than a food processor. It just didn't mix well. They tasted great and I served at a meeting tonight. Everyone liked them.

I made these using chicken breasts instead of thighs just beacuse that is what I had on hand. The pesto is really more of a gremolatta than a pesto. On the first evening we had this hot with a sundried tomato tapenade on the side. It was okay, but I really felt the parsley overwhelmed the more delicate flavor of the basil. Generally, it was very grassy. The leftovers were served cold on top of a leafy salad with sprouts, cucumbers carrots, and olives with a roasted red pepper dressing. Served cold, these were much better, the flavors melded a bit more - you could actually taste the garlic and basil. That said, I would still do a bit of adjusting were I too make this again. Mostly, I would prepare it with 3 parts basil to 1 part parley, add a little more garlic and perhaps a tiny bit of red pepper. Thanks echo echo.
