Gluten-free Avocado Chicken Parmesan

I found this idea online years ago (and can’t for the life of me recall the original recipe creator — this was pre-Pinterest!) and have made it several times over the years.  Each time making a few tweaks and modifications, with the newest being a gluten-free version. Everyone, even non-avocado fans, rave about it! I highly recommend making it for dinner this week!
