Preheat the oven to 190°C/fan170°C/gas 5.
In a bowl, mix the grated shallot, parsley, breadcrumbs, egg, the chorizo and a squeeze of lemon.
Make a pocket between the skin and meat of 4 large free-range chicken breasts, ensuring the skin stays attached at the sides. Stuff each breast with a quarter of the chorizo mixture and press to spread. Season the skin and rub with olive oil.

Our friends at Majestic Wine recommend Finca Carelio. This Tempranillo is complex, rich and a total winter warmer. Its dried fruit and hints of leather will make the smoky chorizo sing.

tasteless result even served with the creamy mash & beans. I followed the recipe and the chicken had no flavour despite the chorizo.
