Serves: 4

Prep Time: 73 minutes
Meal Occasion: Dinner
Cuisine Type: American

Ingredients

1	UNCLE BEN’S® Long Grain & Wild Rice Original Recipe (6-ounce)
2	Cornish hens (1 pound each)
1/2	cup yellow onion finely chopped
1	garlic clove minced
1	cup button mushrooms chopped
	fresh black pepper
3	Tbsp. maple syrup
1 1/2	tsp. balsamic vinegar
1/2	tsp. fresh orange zest

Instructions

1. Remove and discard giblets from hens. Rinse hens well and pat dry with paper towels. Remove skin with a sharp knife and trim excess fat. Split hens in half lengthwise; set aside.
2. To make the rice stuffing, heat a medium saucepan coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add the onion, mushrooms, and garlic and sauté until golden brown. Add the rice, seasoning packet, and 2-1/4 cups water (omit the butter or oil) and follow package instructions to cook the rice.
3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray and then place 4-1/2 cup mounds of rice in the dish. Fit the Cornish hen halves over the top of the rice and press down.
4. Roast the hens at 400 degrees F for about 20 minutes. While the hens are cooking, prepare the glaze by stirring together all ingredients.
5. After the hens have cooked for 20 minutes, remove from the oven and brush with maple glaze. Continue to roast for an additional 15 minutes or until juices run clear, brushing once more with the glaze.

One serving equals 1/2 Cornish hen with 3/4 cup UNCLE BEN’S® Long Grain & Wild Rice stuffing
