- Based on NataschAnn's helpful comments I have made some improvements to this recipe.
- Firstly, I have changed step 6 to read "cilantro" instead of "coriander".
- They are one in the same, in Australia we call it coriander, and that's what I had written in the ingredients section.
- However, the Zaar's automatic ingredient formatter changed my coriander to cilantro and confusion has ensued!
- That'll learn me -- Second, I have rewritten step 7 so it is clearer to understand.
- The original intent of this recipe is to keep the rice separate from the chicken mixture, but really it's up to you - feel free to combine them before spooning into the lettuce, like in Stormylee's pic (which is beautiful by the way, thank you Stormylee!).
- I hope this clears up any issues.
- Thanks again for the constructive criticism.
