In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook fettuccine until al dente, stirring occasionally, for about 12 minutes.

While the pasta boils, melt unsalted butter in a medium skillet over medium heat.

Transfer the chicken breasts to a plate, cover with foil to keep warm, and set aside.

In the same skillet, add cherry tomatoes and cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until they start to soften, about 5 minutes.

Cut the cooked chicken breasts into bite-sized chunks.

Reserve 1 cup pasta water, drain the cooked fettuccine, and return it to the pot.

Add chicken chunks, cooked cherry tomatoes, prepared pesto, and reserved pasta water to the pot.
