Chicken Meat Loaf.

I wanted to make a Chicken Meat Loaf,  and knew I would have to add interesting seasonings to make it tasty as the Chicken is very bland.  After reading many recipes I developed this recipe and topping.  Most of the recipes I looked at were for Turkey or Beef.  This recipe is tasty, cheap and easy.
Feeds 4 ,  with a bit over.  Can easily be doubled or made with 250g of chicken. Just adjust other ingredients.
Preheat oven to  180 C  FF
Line an oven dish with Baking paper,  this is so it doesn't stick .
