Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Boil water in a small pot and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the prepared pesto sauce with the Greek yogurt to create a creamy pesto dressing.
Toss the warm pasta with the pesto cream sauce, then add the sliced chicken.
Finish by sprinkling freshly chopped basil and parsley on top for a burst of fresh flavor. Serve immediately.
