Season the chicken with salt and pepper to taste. Bread the chicken using flour on both sides. In the saucepan, cook the chicken 5 to 10 minutes until golden brown.

After chicken is cooked, cover it with the sauce and sprinkle with parmesan and mozzarella cheese; top off with parsley. Place the chicken in the oven at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or less. Serve chicken on top of the remaining sauce.
