2. MEXICAN CHICKEN PIZZA WITH CORNMEAL CRUST Here's a simple method for making homemade pizza -- it can be on your table in 40 minutes! 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon sugar 1 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt (kosher or sea salt) 3/4 cup warm water 1 tablespoon olive oil 1/3 cup yellow cornmeal Additional cornmeal 2 cups Mexican cheese blend (8 oz) 1 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken 1 can (14.5 oz) Muir Glen® organic fire roasted diced tomatoes or plain diced tomatoes, drained 1/2 medium yellow bell pepper, chopped (1/2 cup) 1/4 cup sliced green onions (4 medium) 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro Heat oven to 450°F.

Stir in 1/3 cup cornmeal and remaining 3/4 cup flour to make a soft dough. On lightly floured surface, knead dough until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Cover and let rest 10 minutes.

3. oh i have a very good recipe called chicken pachata. Its very very yummy. And cilantro is great on it. U pound the chicken the dip it in flour and the lemon juice. Set it on the fryer then sprinkle anything u want on top. Then just keep flipping them till they have nice crisp edges. U will love it. Capers also help bring out more flavor. Just a suggstion. Well hope this helps! :)

5. Chicken and Bacon Parcels with new Potatoes Per person, for this recipe, you will require: 1 chicken breast fillet 2 large rashers of unsmoked bacon 1 small tomato (sliced) 2 tsp coriander, cilantro in US (roughly chopped) 1 clove of garlic (finely chopped) Freshly ground black pepper Olive oil 4 or 5 small new potatoes (unpeeled) Small knob of butter Pinch of dried dillweed Place a couple of slices of tomato on the underside of the chicken breast, cover with coriander and garlic and wrap the bacon around it. Place the parcel in the dish and cover with any remaining coriander. Add some pepper and olive oil. Put the lid on the dish and cook in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 20/25 minutes. Check that the chicken is cooked all the way through by inserting a metal skewer or fork and ensuring the juices run clear. NB: no additional salt is required in this dish as the bacon provides all that is necessary. Boil the new potatoes in salted water for about 25 minutes, drain well then add the knob of butter and the dill and swirl them gently around the pot to ensure they are fully coated.
6. Since It is fresh cilantro, I may use it to sprinkle on at the end. The fresh, intense flavor would be preserved by using it raw. Using it in the crock pot would take away from that flavor.
