- In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, egg, breadcrumbs, thyme, oregano, basil, garlic, onion, salt, pepper and parmesan cheese. Lightly mix together with your hands, but do not over handle or it will get tough. Place into loaf pan and form into a loaf. Top the meatloaf with the pasta sauce.
