Ingredients: *For the veloute sauce:* - 100 g butter - 100 g flour - 300 ml milk - 200 g chives (fresh or canned) - 200 g cooking cream - 1 green onion (finely chopped) - 2 tablespoons chicken concentrate - Salt, pepper, nutmeg to taste *For the garnish:* - 1 kg cherry tomatoes - 500 g chives (boiled and peeled) - 50 g butter - Balsamic vinegar - Salt, pepper *For the stuffed chicken:* - 5 large chicken breasts (over 250 g each) - 400 g chorizo sausages - 2 eggs (beaten) - 150 g breadcrumbs - 200 ml vegetable oil - Salt, pepper Step by step to a delicious dish: 1. Preparing the veloute sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat until it becomes liquid. Once it is well heated, add the flour all at once. Whisk constantly to avoid lumps. This is the base of the béchamel sauce, which will later become veloute. 2. Adding the milk: Heat the milk in another pot and add it gradually, continuing to stir. It is essential to add the milk slowly to achieve a creamy consistency. Let the sauce simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until it thickens. 3. Preparing the chives: If using fresh chives, blanch them to remove the skin, then boil until soft. If opting for canned chives, make sure to rinse them well. Add the boiled chives to the béchamel sauce and blend until you achieve a fine texture. Put the sauce back on the heat, adding the cream, chicken concentrate, and spices. Simmer over low heat until the sauce becomes thick and creamy, then strain it through a fine sieve for a perfect texture. 4. Preparing the garnish: Blanch the chives and peel them. In a skillet, heat a little olive oil and add the cherry tomatoes. Sauté them for about 2 minutes, then add the boiled chives and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper and let them warm over low heat, keeping them warm until serving. 5. Stuffing the chicken: Cut each chicken breast in half lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through, creating a "canal" for the filling. Cut the chorizo into thin sticks so that they fit inside the chicken. Stuff each piece of breast with chorizo, ensuring each piece is well filled. 6. Preparing the chicken: Dip each stuffed piece of chicken in the beaten egg, then in the breadcrumbs. This will create a crispy crust. In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil and fry the chicken on all sides until golden. Then, arrange the chicken in a baking dish and place it in the oven for 15 minutes at 180°C. This step will ensure that the chicken cooks evenly and becomes juicy. 7. Serving: On a platter, place some chive balls, add the veloute sauce on top, and place the slices of stuffed chicken alongside the cherry tomatoes. You can garnish with a little chopped green onion for an extra touch of freshness. Tips and tricks: - Use high-quality chorizo sausages to achieve an intense and authentic flavor. - If you want to experiment, try adding a bit of feta or mozzarella cheese to the chorizo filling. - You can replace chives with asparagus or any preferred vegetables for a more colorful and varied option. - This stuffed chicken pairs wonderfully with a dry white wine that will highlight the dish's flavors. Frequently asked questions: - Can I use another type of sausage instead of chorizo? Of course!

Add a little cayenne pepper or chili powder during the preparation of the sauce for a spicier taste. - Is this recipe suitable for diets? Although this dish is relatively high in calories due to the filling and sauce, it can be part of a balanced diet.
