Cornish Hen with Summer Corn & Pepper Rice
Uses: Cornish hen, corn, yellow rice, bell pepper, onion
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cooked Cornish hen, or 4 to 5 ounces meat
- 1/2 cup cooked yellow rice
- 1/3 cup corn kernels
- 1/4 cup diced bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon diced onion
- 1 teaspoon oil or butter, if available
Instructions:
- Season the Cornish hen with a little oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cumin. Cook in the oven, air fryer, or covered skillet until fully cooked and the meat is tender. Let it rest for a few minutes, so it is easier to handle.
- Remove the cooked Cornish hen meat from the bone and shred it into bite-size pieces.
- In a pan, cook onion and bell pepper until fragrant and soft.
- Add corn and yellow rice, seasoning with garlic powder, cumin, paprika, and black pepper.
- Spoon the corn-pepper rice onto a plate and place the Cornish hen over the top.
- Finish with picante sauce or a little citrus juice if available.
Why it works: The yellow rice makes the plate feel festive, while corn and peppers keep it summery.
Optional: Add cheddar over the rice or guacamole on the side.
