This chicken, béchamel and chorizo tart is a pure marvel! There is some work to do if you decide to make the homemade puff pastry but it really worth it because it is by far better that the puff pastry we find in stores. The béchamel sauce turns everything silky and very tasteful, and the chorizo brings some spice to the dish. Try to make and see for yourselves :-)
