Cornish Hens With Rice Pilaf image

A recipe we've enjoyed for years. All you need is a salad and you've got a great meal. Note that one bird serves two people. We are old dudes, so if you have younger, heartier appetites you may want to adjust the recipe accordingly----both the hens and the pilaf.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The hens were a little bland and the rice pilaf was a little dry.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my hens turned out really dry. The rice pilaf was good though.

This recipe was a disaster! The hens were overcooked and the rice pilaf was mushy. I would not recommend this recipe.
