Avocado Chicken Parmigiana

Keeping in the tradition of my love for avocado, found this one.  Loved it.  (If you can't tell, I'm not in the mood for a lot of words today.  It's been a long, frustrating day in the life of a stay at home mom and frankly, I just want to get the recipes on here and be done with it.  Plus I should've started feeding Syd about 15 mins ago, so I need to get done asap.)
