Stuffed Cornish Game Hens


2 cornish game hens (adjust recipe to your family size)
1 box chicken stove top stuffing mix (you can use generic too =)
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/3 cup milk
1/4 cup chicken broth
2 green onions, chopped
4 TBL Butter (room temp)
1/3 cup melted butter
Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 375.

(Prepare the hens in the shallow baking dish you will use to cook them in)

In a bowl mix together stuffing, soup, chicken broth, green onions and milk. (YOu can also saute onion and celery and add that to the stuffing even some dried cranberries too, I didn't have any on hand or I would have =) Set aside.

Place your hens in the baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Rub about 2 TBL. butter onto each hen, including the inside of hen.

Stuff 1/2 of the box of stuffing mixture into one hen (using your hands=) and stuff the rest into the other hen. You will have some stuffing stuck to your hands so what I did was rub the stuffing I had on my hands onto each of the hens for a little extra seasoning =)

Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes at 375.

Remove from oven, remove foil and baste each hen with the melted butter. Place back in the oven uncovered for 30 minutes longer.

When done cut hen in 1/2 length wise to serve. It's really easy to cut the hen =)

**I know it totally looks like my chicken threw up but this is SUPER YUMMINESS and inexpensive to make, my husband has already requested that I make this again soon =)**

DIETERS: Just try not to eat too much stuffing =)
