I would caution against using "a history of chip lights" as a guide for trouble shooting. From personal experience, this is like "the boy who cried wolf" story. We had a LTS101 let go 80nm offshore after having had a short history of electrical problem induced chip lights. If the book says shut it off ... then shut it off, if it says you can leave it at idle & use it for landing then I'd do just that. OEI condition (post CDP) should not be a big issue. If it is, then somthing has gone wrong at the planning stage.
