Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine or penne according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once hot, grill the chicken breasts until cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then slice into thin strips.
In the same pan, grill the cherry tomatoes until they begin to soften and blister, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, sliced grilled chicken, grilled cherry tomatoes, and pesto. Toss until everything is well coated with the pesto sauce.
Serve the pasta in bowls, topped with a handful of fresh arugula.
