Ingredients

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dill weed
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
2 Cornish game hens (20 to 24 ounces each), split lengthwise
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 cup chicken broth

In a small bowl, combine the first five ingredients; sprinkle over hens. In a large skillet, cook hens over medium-high heat in oil until browned on both sides. Transfer to an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish; set aside and keep warm.
In the same skillet, saute green onions and garlic until tender. Stir in broth and orange juice concentrate; pour over hens. 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.
