In a bowl, combine the pesto and nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt if needed.
Toss the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto mixture ensuring it is evenly coated.
Plate the pasta, then top with the sliced grilled chicken. Garnish with generous amounts of freshly chopped basil and parsley.
