Fool proof, cast iron pan, juicy tasty dinner. The secret is cutting the bird in equal pieces, so all pieces get ready at fifteen minutes per side. Great recipe if you have never cooked before, or are in a hurry. Putting the skillet in the oven assures perfect results every time.

Roasted Cornish Hens over French Breads with a Rich Creamy Top Roasted Cornish Hens over French Breads with a Rich Creamy Top
Some have called this "million dollar chicken", but I don't like that moniker. Cornish hens are roasted over top of sliced baguette in a Dutch oven to catch all the juices, turning the bread into a sort of dressing. The creamy topping and sauce to the chicken is tart and rich and provides a wonderful contrast. 1 Cornish hen per person if hungry or 1/2 a hen per person.
