Who says you can't enjoy the greatness of Sunday dinner on a Tuesday night?
BRAD'S ONE-POT CORNISH HEN, ROOT VEGETABLE AND GRAVY DINNER
Cornish hen; one large chopped sweet potato; one medium chopped white potato; two large chopped carrots; two large chopped stalks of celery; 2 crushed cloves of garlic (just popped, not chopped) chicken broth; tbsp corn starch
In a small roasting plan, place all the vegetables on the bottom and lay the hen over the top. Season the works generously with coarse salt and fresh pepper. Cook 375 for about an hour and 15 minutes, adding a big splash of chicken stock about half way through.
Remove everything from the pot, and while the chicken is resting (10 minutes) place the liquid in a clear glass measuring cup and let sit for a minute to let the fat surface to the top and then skim off. Pour it back into the pan and add a bit more stock if needed and bring to a boil. Mix corn starch with a splash of water and add to the liquid, season to taste. Serve with the gravy over everything!
How was I so thin during University when you always cooked such delish meals for me?!!
