Instructions

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with foil.
Sauté diced onion and minced garlic in olive oil over medium heat until softened; let cool.
In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, cooled onion mixture, breadcrumbs, milk, Parmesan cheese, egg, parsley, Italian seasoning, and salt. Mix until just combined.
Shape two-thirds of the mixture into a rectangle on the baking sheet. Place mozzarella slices in the center and cover with remaining chicken mixture, sealing the edges.
Spread marinara sauce over the top and bake for 45 minutes.
Mix panko breadcrumbs with melted butter and additional Parmesan for topping; add shredded mozzarella.
After 45 minutes of baking, top meatloaf with cheese mixture and bake for another 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
