Source of Recipe


South Beach Diet Daily Dish


List of Ingredients




2 1/4-pound Cornish game hens, giblets removed
Salt and pepper
1/2 lemon, cut into wedges
2 fresh rosemary sprigs, plus additional for garnish
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
12 garlic cloves, peeled



Recipe



Preheat oven to 450°F. Pat hens dry with paper towels. Season cavities with salt and pepper, then stuff with lemon slices and rosemary. Rub the outside skin of hens with oil; season with additional salt and pepper. Set on rack in roasting pan.

Roast 30 minutes; reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Pour broth into pan; sprinkle garlic around hens. Continue roasting another 30 to 40 minutes, basting with pan juices every 5 minutes, until hens are golden and a meat thermometer inserted in the fleshy part of the thigh registers 180°F.

Transfer hens to serving plates; remove stuffing and discard. Serve with roasted garlic. Garnish with additional rosemary.
