Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the penne pasta until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 6 to 8 minutes per side until fully cooked.
Mince the garlic and the chipotle pepper in adobo sauce finely.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, chipotle, mustard, lemon juice, and garlic until the dressing is smooth.
Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and slice the cooked chicken into thin strips.
Combine the pasta, lettuce, and chicken in a large bowl, then toss thoroughly with the chipotle Caesar dressing.
Garnish with grated parmesan cheese and serve immediately while the chicken is still warm.
