Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss the cherry tomatoes with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper on the baking sheet and roast for 12 minutes until they begin to burst.
While tomatoes roast, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the elbow pasta until al dente, then drain.
Season the chicken breast with garlic powder and sear in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
Slice the cooked chicken into bite-sized strips and dice the Babybel cheese into small cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the hot pasta, roasted tomatoes, and fresh baby spinach.
Add the chicken, diced cheese, and basil pesto to the bowl, tossing thoroughly until the spinach is slightly wilted and the cheese is softened.
