Cooked Boneless Cornish hen is a tender and flavorful poultry option popular in Western cuisine, often served as a sophisticated alternative to larger chicken roasts. Originating from selective breeding in the United States, this small bird is prized for its juicy texture and mild taste. Typically seasoned with herbs and spices, it pairs well with a variety of side dishes, from roasted vegetables to rice pilaf. Nutritionally, Cornish hen is a great source of lean protein, supporting muscle health and satiety, while being lower in fat compared to many red meats. It provides essential nutrients like B vitamins, phosphorus, and selenium, which help with energy production and cellular health. However, if prepared with heavy sauces or roasted with added fats, its calorie and fat content may increase significantly. When cooked simply, it makes for a nutritious and versatile centerpiece to a balanced meal.
