Instructions

Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions. Drain the pasta and set aside some pasta water.
Pulse the basil, pine nuts, garlic in a food processor. Add in the yogurt, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, lemon juice and salt. If the pesto is too thick, add some pasta water to dilute it. Adjust the lemon juice and salt to your liking.
Season both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper and cayenne pepper. Heat up a cast-iron grill pan or skillet and add the olive oil. Cook the chicken until nicely browned and the inside is cooked through. Slice the chicken into strips.
Toss the spaghetti with the pesto, stir to mix well. Top the pasta with the chicken and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
