In a small jar, combine the Greek yogurt, Parmesan, lemon juice, Dijon, grated garlic, soy sauce, Sriracha, and water. Add half the salt and shake or stir until smooth and pourable. Set aside to let flavors meld while you cook the chicken.
Place the chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or a heavy pan, pound the chicken to an even 3/4 inch thickness. Season both sides with the remaining salt and the black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6 to 7 minutes. Flip and cook for 4 to 5 minutes more until the thickest part is opaque. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
While the chicken rests, toss the chopped romaine in a large bowl with the spicy dressing until coated. Slice the rested chicken into strips. Pile the salad onto a plate, fan the sliced chicken on top, and garnish with red pepper flakes.
