Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 Cornish game hens, about 1 pound each
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons corn, peanut or vegetable oil
8 small white onions, about 3/4 pound, peeled
8 small red waxy potatoes, about 3/4 pound
1/2 pound mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Sprinkle hens inside and out with salt and pepper. Ideally you should truss them with string, but it is not essential.
  • Heat oil in heavy casserole large enough to hold hens comfortably in one layer. Add hens and cook, turning often, until nicely browned all over, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, trim ends off potatoes and cut lengthwise into quarters. Put in saucepan with cold water to cover and salt to taste. Let simmer about 3 minutes and drain.
  • Add potatoes to hens and onions. Pour fat from casserole. Return to heat and add mushrooms and bay leaf, stirring from bottom.
  • Cover closely and let cook about 3 minutes.
  • Add wine and broth. Cover closely and let simmer 30 minutes. Remove bay leaf. Serve chicken and vegetables sprinkled with parsley.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some leftover roasted chicken from dinner the night before, and I used it to make this dish. It turned out great! The chicken was still moist and flavorful, and the onions and potatoes were
