Ingredients (10)

  • 4 x 200g chicken breast fillets, skin on (wingbone attached – optional)
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sweet smoked paprika
  • 100ml olive oil
  • 1 chorizo, chopped

  • 1 mango, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Mixed herbs and roast potatoes, to serve

Method

    Heat the remaining 1/4 cup (60ml) oil in a frypan over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes until crisp. Remove chorizo from pan with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel.

    Return the pan to medium-high heat and cook chicken, skin-side down, for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove chicken from pan, reserving the cooking oil, and place, skin-side up, on a baking tray. Roast for 10-12 minutes until cooked.
