Directions Cornish Hens with Garlic Cream Cheese
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line the inside of a roasting pan with aluminum foil.
Place hens, breast-side up, in the prepared roasting pan.
Mix 1 tablespoon garlic and herb seasoning with 1 package cream cheese in a bowl. Stuff cream cheese mixture in 1 hen. Repeat with 1 tablespoon garlic and herb seasoning and remaining 1 package cream cheese, stuff the second hen.
Brush hens with melted butter, sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon garlic and herb seasoning. Season with salt. Cover hens with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove aluminum foil and bake until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 15 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
