Don't remember where I got this recipe, but I have tried it many times and it is delicious! This is a recipe for one. Combine this with some Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Romaine with Parmesan Dressing, and a Raspberry Crème Fraiche Puff and you have yourself a complete dinner for one! Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs fresh cornish hens (or frozen) |
1/4 cup water |
2 tablespoons margarine or 2 tablespoons butter |
1 cup onion-flavored croutons |
2 tablespoons dried fruit |
1 tablespoon finely chopped green onion |
1/2 teaspoon instant chicken bouillon granules |
1 tablespoon mayonnaise or 1 tablespoon salad dressing |
1/8 teaspoon poultry seasoning |
1/2 cup fresh cranberries |
2 tablespoons brown sugar |
1 tablespoon frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed |
Directions:
1. Thaw hen, if frozen. Rinse hen with cold water and pat dry. For stuffing, in a small saucepan combine water and margarine or butter; cook until margarine melts. Remove from heat. Stir in croutons, fruit bits, onion, and bouillon granules.
2. Spoon stuffing into body cavity. Combine mayonnaise and poultry seasoning; coat hen with mayonnaise mixture.
3. Place hen, breast side up on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Roast, uncovered, in a 375 degree F oven for 1 to 1-1/4 hours or until drumstick moves easily in socket.
4. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan combine cranberries, brown sugar, and orange juice concentrate. Bring to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 3 to 5 minutes or until cranberry skins pop.
5. Serve with cranberry sauce, if desired.
