Now stir the Crème Fresh into mixture bring to a boil and immediately turn off the heat. Add the breadcrumbs, a little at a time to bind the mixture into a thick paste, allow to cool.
Cut the Chicken Breast along its length, be careful not cut through. Open the breast along its length and with a rolling pin, or similar, slightly flatten the breast. Spread the Chorizo mixture onto chicken. Next, place a length of cling film slightly longer than a bacon rasher onto a flat surface, place the bacon slices side by side to the length of the chicken breast. Next place the chicken breast onto the bacon. Lift one side of the cling film to roll the chicken, chorizo stuffing and bacon into a roulade.
