# How To Make It:
01 - Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Brush chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Grill for 6 to 7 minutes per side until cooked through and juices run clear. Transfer to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
02 - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
03 - In a food processor or blender, combine avocados, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, black pepper, and basil leaves. Blend until smooth and creamy.
04 - In a large bowl, toss hot drained pasta with the avocado sauce, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time as needed to achieve a silky consistency.
05 - Add sliced grilled chicken and gently toss to combine. Divide among plates and garnish with extra basil, Parmesan, lemon zest, or red pepper flakes as desired. Serve immediately.
