Skinny Chicken Parmesan

I am a sucker for pasta, I could eat pasta or mexican food every day.  Our house has made the transition to whole wheat pasta, and I have gotten so used to it I don’t even like regular pasta anymore.  Because of my pasta addiction, I make large batches of homemade marinara sauce and always have some in my freezer.  It’s great for recipes like this! This particular recipe is for one person, but you can always double or triple the recipe.
