Cornish Hens with Almond Stuffing Recipe

Prep: 25 min. Bake: 1 hour

Yield: 4 Servings

25 60 85

Ingredients

1 celery rib, chopped
1/4 cup chopped onion
3 tablespoons butter, divided
2 cups crushed seasoned stuffing
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons slivered almonds, toasted
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley or 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
4 Cornish game hens (20 to 24 ounces each)
1 garlic clove, minced
1/8 teaspoon paprika

Directions

In a large skillet, saute celery and onion in 1 tablespoon butter until tender. Stir in the stuffing, broth, almonds, parsley, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper. Spoon about 1 cup stuffing mixture into each hen; tie legs together with kitchen string.
Place hens breast side up on a rack in a shallow roasting pan; cover with foil. Bake at 375° for 40 minutes. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt remaining butter with garlic and paprika. Uncover hens; baste with butter mixture.
Bake, uncovered, for 20-30 minutes longer or until juices run clear and a meat thermometer reads 180° for hens and 165° for stuffing. Yield: 4 servings.
