Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente.
While pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat and add the panko breadcrumbs, stirring constantly until they are golden brown and fragrant.
Season the chicken breast with half of the sea salt and black pepper, then grill or pan-sear in a non-stick skillet until cooked through, approximately 6 minutes per side.
Remove the chicken from the heat, let it rest for 2 minutes, and then slice it into thin strips.
In the same skillet used for the chicken, melt the ghee over low heat and add the minced garlic, sautéing for 1 minute until soft but not browned.
Drain the pasta, reserving 2 tablespoons of the pasta water, and add both to the skillet with the garlic ghee.
Toss the pasta with the chicken, fresh parsley, lemon juice, and remaining salt and pepper until well coated.
Transfer to a plate and finish by sprinkling the toasted breadcrumbs over the top for a satisfying crunch.
