Get your oven hot at 400°F (200°C). Put foil in a loaf pan and spray it with some cooking oil.

Grab a big bowl and throw in your chicken mince, flavored crumbs, milk, Parmesan, egg, parsley, herbs, salt, and the onion-garlic mix you cooked. Mix it all up really well.

Put the meat mix in your pan and shape it into an 8"x4" loaf. Pour tomato sauce all over the top.
05 -
Stick it in the hot oven for 45 minutes.
06 -
While it's cooking, mix panko crumbs, Parmesan, melted butter, and parsley in a small bowl.

Take out your meatloaf. Cover it with mozzarella first, then sprinkle your crumb mixture on top.

Put it back in the oven for another 15-20 minutes. Make sure the middle hits 165°F (75°C).
