Directions
  1. Mix ground chicken with eggs, onion, breadcrumbs, half the basil, Parmesan, garlic and salt until just combined. Divide in half and form into 2 free-form "loaves"; each about 6 x 3.5 in. (15 x 9 cm). Place both on large foil-lined baking sheet.
  2. Spread each loaf with tomato sauce. Bake in oven preheated to 400°F(200°C) for 45 min. Sprinkle each loaf with mozzarella and continue to bake another 5 to 7 min. or until cheese is melted and meat thermometer inserted in centre registers 165°F (74°C).
  3. Garnish with remaining basil. Serve with more heated tomato sauce, if desired, as accompaniment to spaghetti.
