PREPARATION

1
Cook the whole grain penne according to package instructions until al dente, reserving 2 tablespoons of the pasta water before draining.
2
Season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper.
3
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes.
4
Add halved cherry tomatoes and minced garlic to the skillet, sautéing for 2 minutes until the tomatoes are slightly blistered and fragrant.
5
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the basil pesto, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and reserved pasta water to create a smooth, creamy sauce.
6
Fold in the cooked pasta and lemon zest, tossing gently until the noodles are well coated and heated through before serving.
