Categories     Food & Cooking     Dinner Recipes

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 Cornish game hens (about 1 1/2 pounds each), patted dry
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 medium onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
2/3 cup dry white wine
1 can (14.5 ounces) reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
1/4 cup chopped dried apricots
1 1/2 cups couscous

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450. Using kitchen twine, tie hens legs together; tuck wing tips underneath. Rub hens with a total of 1 tablespoon oil and 3/4 teaspoon thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Place hens, breast side up, on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh (avoiding bone) registers 165, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a platter. Cover loosely with aluminum foil; let rest 5 to 10 minutes.
  • While hens are roasting, make sauce: In a large skillet with a lid, heat remaining oil over medium; add onion and garlic, and cook until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add wine, and simmer until reduced by half, 3 to 5 minutes. Add broth, cream, honey, lemon juice, and apricots; raise heat to high, and boil until mixture (including solids) is reduced to 2 cups, 12 to 15 minutes. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard solids. Return sauce to skillet; season with salt and pepper. Cover and keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, prepare couscous according to package instructions. Add remaining thyme, and season with salt and pepper; fluff with a fork. Halve hens; serve with couscous and sauce.
