Butterfly the chicken breasts by cutting down one side with a sharp knife and opening out flat. Place under a piece of cling film and beat with a rolling pin (or a heavy based pan) to flatten.
Place 3 slices of chorizo, one of the mozzarella quarters and 2 basil leaves inside. Season with salt and pepper before folding back over to cover the filling. Use a cocktail stick or skewer to hold both sides together.
Dip each chicken breast in the beaten egg then roll in the breadcrumbs to coat. Place the coated breasts on a baking tray, sprinkle with the olive oil and bake for 25-30 minutes (dependant on your oven), turning once during cooking. Make sure the chicken is cooked through before removing from the oven.
