Ingredients:
  • 3 mandarins
  • 82.50 ml chopped fresh continental parsley
  • 5.00 gm smoked paprika
  • 1/2-1 tsp dried chilli flakes
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) olive oil
  • 95g (1 1/2 cups) fresh breadcrumbs
  • 60g (1/3 cup) Sicilian green olives, pitted, thinly sliced
  • 4 (about 800g) chicken breast fillets
  • 125g chorizo sausage, thinly sliced
  • 82.50 ml fresh continental parsley leaves
Instructions:
  • Extract the juice from 2 mandarins. Mix the mandarin juice, chopped parsley, garlic, paprika, chili, and 2 tablespoons of oil in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Blend the breadcrumbs, olives, and 2 tablespoons of parsley mixture in a bowl.
  • Preheat the oven to 200ºC. Place each chicken piece between plastic wrap and gently pound until 1cm thick. Trim into rectangles, then divide breadcrumb mixture among them. Roll up the chicken to enclose the filling and secure with toothpicks.
  • In a large ovenproof frying pan, heat the remaining oil. Brown the chicken by cooking and turning for 5 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining parsley mixture on top. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Peel and separate the rest of the mandarin. Brown chorizo in a large non-stick pan over medium heat for 2 minutes. Stir in mandarin and cook for 1 more minute until warmed through. Add parsley leaves and stir.
  • Slice the chicken in half, then plate it alongside the flavorful chorizo mixture. Finally, generously drizzle the pan juices over the dish.
