ROUND 2 RECIPE: CHICKEN CACCIATORE
Steps:
- In a large bowl or resealable plasic bag, add the flour, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning and salt and pepper, to taste. Combine well, then add the chicken and toss to coat.
- In a large high-sided skillet with a lid, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat. Shake off excess flour from the chicken and fry in the oil until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate and reserve.
- To the pan, add the mushrooms and bell pepper and cook for 2 minutes, until slightly softened. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, the tomato soup, and the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and add the reserved chicken. Cover with a lid and cook until the chicken is completely cooked through, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the lid 5 minutes before the end of the cooking time, to reduce the sauce slightly. Transfer the cacciatore to a serving platter, sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Steps:
- Have a bowl of ice and water ready. Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil in a saucepan, add the rhubarb, blanch 20 seconds, then scoop out with a slotted spoon into the ice water. After a minute, drain well and transfer to a medium-size bowl. Fold in the scallions, jalapeño and cocktail onions. Blend the honey into 1 tablespoon of the vinegar and add. Season with about 1/4 teaspoon salt and chipotle or cayenne to taste.
- Heat oven to 200 degrees. Place the cornmeal in a bowl and season with salt and chipotle powder or cayenne. Dredge the livers in the seasoned cornmeal. Add 4 tablespoons oil to a large skillet and sauté the livers on medium heat, turning, until lightly browned but still pink inside, just a minute or two on each side. Remove to a heatproof dish, cover and place in the oven. Heat the remaining oil in the skillet. Add the onions and cook over medium heat, stirring, until golden. Add remaining vinegar, stir to deglaze pan and remove from heat.
- Wrap the tortillas in a dish towel and place in a steamer over simmering water. Add the cilantro to the salsa. Remove a tortilla from the steamer. Spoon some of the onion in a line down the center. Top with two or three pieces of chicken liver, then about a tablespoon of the salsa. Roll the tortilla around the filling and place on a platter, seam side down. Repeat with the remaining tortillas. Serve any remaining salsa alongside.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any mishaps.
- Choose the right chicken: For the best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. You can also use chicken tenderloins, but they may cook more quickly.
- Cook the chicken thoroughly: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Make the cucumber salsa ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. You can store the salsa in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Use fresh tortillas: Fresh tortillas will give you the best flavor and texture. You can find fresh tortillas at most grocery stores or Mexican restaurants.
- Load up your tacos: In addition to the chicken and cucumber salsa, you can also add other toppings to your tacos, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, or pico de gallo.
