Ingredients

1 shallot, grated
small handful finely chopped fresh parsley
4 tbsp breadcrumbs
1 large beaten free-range egg
skinned meat from 120g cooking chorizo
squeeze of lemon
4 large free-range chicken breasts

Method

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.
Roast for 20 minutes, then serve with mash, greens and lemon wedges.

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.
