crockpot cornish hens.

I recently received a crockpot from a work christmas party and have been using it for everything (even to make oatmeal).  This is my latest crockpot creation that is incredibly easy, delicious, and healthy.  It also provides plenty of leftovers!

Crockpot cornish game hens:

1. Put about 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil in the bottom of the crockpot 

2. Add 1 bay leaf and grind sea salt and black pepper on top of the olive oil

2. Chop 1/2 of 1 sweet onion, 1 celery rib, and 2 garlic cloves and place over the oil mixture

3. Wash 2 cornish game hens and pat dry

4. Sprinkle hens with parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper

5. Chop 2 more garlic cloves and put in the hens cavity and under the skin

6. Place in crockpot over the oil and onions

7. Pour 1/4 cup of dry white wine or reduced sodium chicken broth over hen

8. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 4-5 hours until an internal temperature of 160 degrees F

I served them with brown rice and salad!
