Tip: Make a party with two of the required characters + a fast group damage dealer like Faris/Agrias/Squall/etc and you can clear those missions while you are farming the required monsters.
Another Tip: The next Event/Story/Lost Chapter will probably have lots of these monsters too, so if you are not in a hurry you can get a head start by completing it before tackling these missions.

Cockatrice x40
Noctis’s Lost Chapter: Quick Encounter Pt. 3 (Normal difficulty) has 4 Cockatrice in 2 waves. You can complete the mission in 10 fights.
Alternatively:
Noctis’s Lost Chapter: Quick Encounter Pt. 2 (Normal difficulty) has 2 Cockatrice in 1 wave. You can complete the mission in 20 fights, which is exactly the amount of times you have to use Irvine and Zack in battle – so you might choose to run this fight with a full Zack/Irvine/Terra team and complete 4 objectives at once.
