Prepare the Chicken Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, finely chopped onion, egg, salt, dried thyme, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated. Set aside.

Cook the Mushrooms:
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes, or until they are tender and golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.

Assemble the Loaf:

Bake the Loaf:
- Place the assembled loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 185Β°F (85Β°C) when tested with a meat thermometer.

Top with Sauce:
- After the loaf has been baking for about an hour, spread the salsa and tomato sauce mixture evenly over the top of the loaf for added flavor.

Let it Rest:
