THIS IS a perfect main dish when you're cooking for two. I've even used these hens as a stand-in for turkey on Thanksgiving Day when the group was not large. I found this recipe among my mother's collection. She was always searching newspapers and magazines for new cooking ideas. Geraldine Grisdale Mt. Pleasant, Michigan Ingredients:
1-1/3 cups chicken broth |
1/2 cup uncooked long grain rice |
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms |

1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram, divided |
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided |
2 cornish hens (1 to 1-1/2 pounds each) |
1 tablespoon canola oil |
pepper to taste |
