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 olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the diced chicken breast until golden and cooked through.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the chicken and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
In a small bowl, whisk together the skyr and basil pesto until smooth to create the creamy sauce base.
Reserve 2 tablespoons of pasta water, then drain the pasta and return it to the pot.
Stir in the chicken, garlic, baby spinach, and the skyr pesto mixture, adding the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
Season with sea salt and black pepper before serving warm.
