Lime and Sesame Roasted Cornish Game Hens
From America’s Best Recipes 1996. Easy and very good. Toast the sesame seeds in your microwave in a shallow bowl on High for 2-3 minutes. Watch to make sure that they do not burn.

This is one of my favorite ways of having Cornish Game Hens. Georgians (Russian, NOT USA) have a special flair for cooking chicken. They grill or roast them (with delicately spiced walnut sauces); they fry them under a press; and they stew them with a sauce of herbs, tomatoes, and lemon juice. All of these methods make the serving of chicken in Russia memoriable. The name tapaka comes from the heavy iron skillet (tapa) with its weighted lid, under which the marinated chicken is flattened and then fried. This forms a crisp, golden crust. This recipe makes one serving so increase the ingredients to accomodate as many guests as you may have.
Very tasty dish. Not difficult to make but nice enough for a special occasion or dinner party. Serve with mashed potatoes, grits, polenta or rice to soak up the delicious sauce. You could substitute any dried fruit (cranberries, apricots, etc) for the dried cherries. Use a complimentary fruit preserve accordingly.
I found this recipe on a recipe card at Walmart but it didn’t have flavor and it had mushrooms. Most people I know hate mushrooms and need flavor so, I cut out the mushrooms and added some flavor..
