Is chicken parmesan unhealthy?

Traditional chicken parmesan is made with breaded and fried chicken, which is then covered in cheese and tomato sauce. At many Italian restaurants, it’s served over a large pile of pasta. So, it’s loaded with fat, carbs, calories…all the fun stuff! But with this salad version, the chicken is only lightly fried with almond flour. Then, it's served over a bed of mixed greens with mozzarella, Parmesan, roasted tomatoes, and a simple homemade Italian dressing. All of the flavor with a lot less of the bad stuff!
