Preheat a grill pan over medium heat until very hot. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with half of the salt and all of the pepper.
Add the chicken to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes. Turn and cook for further 5 more minutes or until the center of the chicken springs back when pressed.
While the chicken is cooked , bring a large pot of water to boil. Add remaining salt and fettuccine.
Cook at a rolling boil until the pasta is just tender for about 5- 7 minutes. Drain the pasta well and toss with half of the pesto.
Transfer the chicken to a cutting board, spread the remaining pesto on both sides, and cut into crosswise strips.
Place equal portions of the pasta on warm plates. Drape the chicken over the pasta and serve.
