Healthy Roasted Cornish Hens with Dried Cherry Stuffing



1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup diced onion

1/2 teaspoon dried sage
1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
4 slices white bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper
2 Cornish game hens, split in half




Recipe



1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.


2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and celery and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the dried cherries, sage and broth and cook for 2 more minutes. Stir in the cubed bread, salt and pepper and set aside.


3. Season the Cornish hen halves with salt and pepper.


4. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Form the stuffing into 4 mounds on the baking sheet. Place 1 half of a Cornish hen on top of each mound of stuffing. Roast the hens for 45 minutes or until thoroughly cooked.


5. When the hens are finished, transfer them to a serving platter and let rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
