Cornish hen, also known as Rock Cornish game hen, is a small hybrid chicken bred for tender meat and succulence. Originating in the United States in the mid-20th century, it combines traits from Cornish and White Rock chickens, resulting in a bird prized for its delicate texture and mild flavor. Often featured in gourmet and holiday dishes, Cornish hen is a versatile protein that complements a variety of cuisines, from American to Mediterranean. Naturally low in fat and rich in protein, Cornish hen provides essential nutrients like B vitamins, phosphorus, and selenium. Its smaller size makes it ideal for portion control, yet it still delivers substantial heart-healthy protein. However, depending on the preparation method, such as roasting with butter or rich sauces, calorie and fat content can increase. Opt for seasonings like herbs, citrus, and olive oil to create a balanced, flavorful dish.
