Lemon Basil Chicken Chorizo

This recipe is a flavorful and easy way to spice up your chicken dinner. The combination of the spicy chorizo and the fresh and citrusy lemon and basil make the chicken more interesting and delicious.

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
2. In a large mixing bowl, mix together the chorizo, basil, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and 1 tbsp of olive oil.
3. Butterfly the chicken breasts and stuff them with the chorizo mixture. Use toothpicks to secure the chicken.
