2. In a large pot over medium heat, stir together fresh tomato sauce, tomato puree, sugar, parsley, basil, oregano, and garlic.
3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss chicken with bread crumbs until completely covered. Arrange chicken in baking dish and sprinkle to taste with garlic salt and pepper to taste. Top chicken with half of shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. Pour fresh tomato sauce evenly over chicken. Reserve half of the remaining cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, and sprinkle the rest over the chicken and sauce.
4. Cover dish with aluminium foil and bake for about 50 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Remove foil, and top with remaining cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. Return dish to oven and cook, uncovered, until the cheese on top melts. Remove and let sit five minutes before serving.
