For dairy-free needs, use a pesto without cheese and skip the Parmesan and sour cream, or replace them with a dairy-free alternative. For gluten-free diets, swap the pasta and baguette for gluten-free versions; for lower sodium, choose a low-salt pesto and season lightly.
What to serve with it
Serve with a simple green salad, roasted broccoli, or extra lemon wedges to brighten the rich pesto and chicken. Warm bread on the side also helps round out the pasta for a more filling dinner.
