  4. The breast should unfold.
  5. Separate the butterflied breast. Repeat for the other breast.
  6. Place a layer of plastic wrap over a chicken breast to prevent splatter.
  7. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin pound the breasts gently until uniformly 1/4 inch thick.
  8. Season liberally with salt and pepper (and MSG if you feel like it). Remember this will be steamed so you won't build flavor by cooking, thus you need to season well.

  11. Spread 1 Tbsp pesto on the chicken

  13. Roll the foil over the chicken into a tube

  16. Combine the olives, artichoke, tomatoes, lemon juice, basil, parsley, butter and oil in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper
  17. Place the chicken in the steamer.
  18. Pour the noodles in the pot of water.

  20. Reserve 1/3 cups of noodle water. Drain noodles.
  21. Return noodles to the pot, add the reserved pasta water, and the artichoke mixture. Stir to melt the butter. Taste for seasoning. No seriously…taste it. It likely needs salt. Whole wheat pasta is dry and there's no sauce. Give it a sprinkle. If it's dry… a little more oil.
