I made a great Indian version of this by subbing curry powder for paprika.

Wouldn't the parmesan cheese make this an S? I thought anything with cheese was S?!

I am still confused by the discussion about this being an E meal if you eat more than 3 ounces of the chicken. What makes this into an E instead of an S? Where are the hidden carbs?

It makes a great e meal Becuase you often use chicken in E Becuase it's lower in fat. It's not specifically E. The parmesan is spread out over 6 breasts, so it keeps it out of S territory. Though it may be a smidge close. But as long as you don't add any other fat to the e meal, it should be ok.

I am not sure I agree.
1 cup of grated parmesan cheese has 75 grams of fat and divided by 6 servings that gives you 12.5 grams of fat per serving.
I thought that an E meal had to be kept to less than 5g fat.
I think this is an S meal. S meals have less than 10g net carbs and more than 5g fat per serving.
The net carbs for the entire recipe come in at about 7 grams ( 5 grams from the plain greek yogurt and 2 grams from the parmesan cheese) which is just about 1 gram net carbs per serving.
Thoughts? Am I missing something?
This is how I interpret the THM Plan:
S meal: less than 10 gram carbs and more than 5 grams fat (fat is satisfying!)
E meal: 10-45 grams carbs and less than 5 g fat (carbs are quick energy!)
Crossover: 10-45 grams carbs and more than 5 grams fat (satisfying and energizing at the same time)
Fuel pull: less than 10 grams carbs and less than 5 grams fat (not particularly satisfying or energizing but will get you to the next meal without changing you fuel source)
S Helper: more than 15 grams carbs and more than 5 grams fat (a regular s meal with a few extra carbs thrown in)
Is this correct?

Does the Parmesan cheese vary in fats from brand to brand?
Yes, you explained the guidelines exactly. You are right about this recipe if the fat is indeed 75g per 1 cup. I should go check my can of Parmesan to make sure. If I remember to check I hope I remember to post my findings.
I'm glad there are those that really investigate instead of just taking someone's word for it.

I used Kraft in the green canister. (not very gourmet!!) Thanks for reading my long post and for letting me know that I outlined the plan correctly== I am pretty new to this whole thing! I am a numbers geek and I use My Fitness Pal's recipe feature to help me out Enjoy the weekend!

My Parmesan says 2 tbsp has 4g fat. I have a generic brand. This is 32g fat for this recipe divide by 6 gives 5.3g fat per serving. it does keep it just barely in E or FP mode depending on your Parmesan and what you pair it with.

So, I think it'd be good idea to scale back the parmesan if using this in an E setting.

1 C. parmesan cheese = 30grams fat. Maybe that 75 gram number in the earlier post comes from a cup of ungrated cheese? Grating would make it fluffier. Just be aware that if you ate an entire half chicken breast, you would be at your fat limit for an E or fuel pull meal. I'm assuming a 3 oz portion would be about a half of a half chicken breast, so if you keep to that portion--its all good. [edit-- oops. I missed susieq's post about. We came to the same conclusion. ]
