Recipe information

  • Yield

    2 servings; can be doubled

Ingredients

6 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup canned low-salt chicken broth
1 1/2 cups dry corn bread stuffing mix
2 teaspoons dried rubbed sage
1 1 1/2- to 1 3/4-pound Cornish game hen, quartered, liver chopped
2 tablespoons dry Sherry

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 475°F. Butter 11x7-inch baking pan. Bring 6 tablespoons broth just to simmer in medium saucepan; remove from heat. Mix in stuffing mix and 1 teaspoon sage. Spoon stuffing in 4 equal mounds in prepared pan. Season hen quarters with 1 teaspoon sage and salt and pepper. Press 1 hen quarter onto each stuffing mound.

    Step 2

    Bake until hen is golden brown and juices run clear when hen is pierced with skewer, about 20 minutes. Transfer hen and stuffing to 2 plates; tent with foil to keep warm. Do not clean baking pan.

    Step 3

    Place liver and remaining 1/4 cup broth in same baking pan. Set pan over medium heat. Boil until slightly thickened, scraping up browned bits, about 2 minutes. Mix in dry Sherry; simmer 1 minute. Spoon gravy over hen pieces and serve immediately.
