Chicken Parmesan, Healthy Time

Now chicken parmesan is a delicious, generally not healthy Italian meal. On a whim (found a recipe on Pinterest, had all ingredients at home and no plan for dinner) I decided to try and make it! Luckily this is a healthier version, the chicken parmesan part at least. If I hadn't served it with pasta it would have even been better.
