Delightful Cornish Hens Recipe

Directions

Ingredients :

1 green bell pepper, minced

1 red bell pepper, minced

¼ cup minced fresh cilantro, or more to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 (.18 ounce) packet sazon seasoning

2 teaspoons onion powder

1 teaspoon adobo seasoning

salt and ground black pepper to taste

2 cloves garlic

2 onions, peeled

2 Cornish game hens

2 tablespoons butter

Methods :

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Step 2

Mix green bell pepper, red bell pepper, cilantro, olive oil, sazon seasoning, onion powder, adobo seasoning, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Place 1 clove garlic and 1 onion into the cavity of each hen. Spread seasoning-oil mixture with your hands over the entire outer surface of each hen. Arrange hens on prepared baking sheet; top each with 1 tablespoon butter.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
