Preheat the oven to 400°F. Rub the chicken breast with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and chopped fresh basil.

While the chicken is roasting, cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.

Toss the cooked pasta with the creamy pesto mixture, then gently fold in the roasted chicken slices.
