What exactly is a Cornish hen? It's a broiler chicken that’s a cross of two breeds, Cornish and Plymouth rock. You’ll find them at the store in the frozen or fresh meat department and they weigh less than 2 lbs/900 each. These are very small, about 1.25 pounds or 570 g each. Depending on how hungry you are, each chicken will serve one or two people.

Squeeze a little lemon juice over the chicken if you want. Taste the lemon before you squeeze it because sometimes they can get bitter. The meat is so soft and juicy. Carrots and onions are tender and flavorful coated in the pan juices. Let me know if you made this for dinner and how it came out.
