Found this years ago on the internet, and have since made it several times with rave reviews. Don’t accidentally double the cheese as I once did. The celery can be replaced with carrots if you don’t normally buy it. I have never added the mushrooms.
Cornish hens, like baby chickens are small enough to serve one per person. Serve with your favourite roasted veggies, or bok choy and Maple Squash. A delicious recipe developed and shared by “chatelaine” Magazine.
I found this recipe in a church cookbook from Louisianna (the submitter learned to make it in a cooking class called Creole Delicacies). The recipe didn’t have any amounts listed for the ingredients so the amounts are what seemed reasonable to me and should be adjusted to taste.
Cornish Game Hens just seem to be a “romantic” type dish. Try this with a “candlelight and wine” theme dinner.
This is an easy weeknight dinner that will feed 4. I just love what rosemary, thyme, and Dijon do to these delectable little birds. It’s great served over baked sweet potatoes or fingerlings.
