This is the first time that I've used coriander in a recipe. BH and I decided that this dish was bland. I'll try this again but will add maybe onions and garlic.

I have to admit I was a bit leary of the amount of coriander used in this recipe, but was pleasantly surpised. I thought it would be really overpowering but it had a very nice flavor to it. I think some shallot or onion could be added to the mushroom mixture to give just a little more flavor to the stuffing. Mine didnt come out very golden brown, and still had some flour-y spots left, but the chicken was done and cooking it any longer would have over-cooked it. I would maybe try raising the oven temp to 375 to see how that would work, or would suggest browning the rolls quickly on the stove top and then baking in the oven. Very nice entry for the contest.
