  While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breast on both sides with sea salt and black pepper.

  Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side.

  Remove the chicken from the pan to a cutting board to rest, then add the cherry tomatoes and minced garlic to the same skillet, sautéing until the tomatoes begin to blister and soften.

• 5

  Slice the rested chicken into thin strips and add it back to the skillet along with the cooked linguine, basil pesto, and lemon juice.
