Ingredients

1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dill weed
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon paprika
1 Cornish game hen (20 to 24 ounces), split lengthwise
1-1/2 teaspoons olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped green onion
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons thawed orange juice concentrate
1 tablespoon slivered almonds, toasted
1-1/2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the first five ingredients; sprinkle over hen halves. In a small skillet, cook hen halves over medium-high heat in oil until browned on both sides. Transfer to an ungreased 11x7-in. baking dish; set aside and keep warm.

In the same skillet, saute green onion and garlic until tender. Stir in broth and orange juice concentrate; pour over hen halves. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until meat is tender and juices run clear. To serve, drizzle with pan juices and sprinkle with almonds and parsley.
