Years ago I found this recipe on a box of Uncle Ben's original rice. I can always get the man at the meat counter to cut these in half for me even when they are frozen. My daughter loves getting her own little chicken Ingredients:
1/4 cup apple jelly |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
2 rock cornish game hens, halved |
1 (6 ounce) box long grain and wild rice blend |
salt |
2 teaspoons apple jelly |
1 1/2 cups red seedless grapes, halved or 1 red apple, cored and coarsely chopped |
1/2 cup thinly sliced celery |
1/3 cup unsalted cashews |
Directions:
1. Combine 1/4 cup of jelly and cinnamon in a small sauce pan.
2. Heat and stir until melted; set aside.
3. Place hen halves, skin side up on a rack in a shallow roasting pan; sprinkle with salt.
4. Roast in 350 degree oven for 20 minutes.
5. Brush with the jelly/cinnamon mixture.
6. Roast for 20 to 30 minutes longer or until browned and tender.
7. While hens are roasting, cook rice and contents according to the package directions.
8. Stir in 2 tablespoons apple jelly, grapes and celery.
9. Sprinkle cashews over rice and serve with the hens.
