Method

Heat the oil in a large frying pan (see tip). Slice the onion, then fry gently for 2-3 minutes. Meanwhile, put the chicken breasts between two pieces of cling film and flatten with a rolling pin (see tip), then cut into strips. Slice the chorizo. Heat the grill.
Add the chicken and chorizo to the pan and fry for 3 minutes on high. Crush the garlic and add to the pan. Drain and rinse the beans, then stir them in with the crème fraîche. Bubble for 1 minute. Meanwhile, grill the sourdough to lightly toast.
Chop the parsley, then stir into the pan with the lemon juice. Pile onto the toasts.

Flattening the chicken ensures it cooks evenly. Use a pan large enough to fry it with the chorizo without crowding.

Next time – use smoked haddock instead of chicken and add to the pan with the crème fraîche and a sprinkle of smoked paprika.
