Cornish Hens and Vegetables in Foil Packets

This makes the most moist and delicious cornish hens I’ve ever tasted. It’s from 365 Ways to Cook Chicken. The beauty of this dish is threefold. First of all. the individual packets can be prepared hours before dinner and refrigerated. Secondly, for those on a low-fat diet, this method of cooking is ideal: simply reduce the butter to 1 teaspoon a serving. And last but not least, the bright yellow squash, orange carrots and red-skinned potatoes make a lovely presentation. A mandolin or food processor with slicing blade makes for a quicker prep.
