Display on a platter, making it festive with some greens and fresh cranberries! I’d serve these delicious cranberry stuffed Cornish hens with green beans for a complete holiday dinner. It might even be nice to make a batch of fresh cranberry sauce to go with it too. Enjoy!

To toast bread cubes, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the cubes of bread on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the cubes are crisp and toasted.
About the nutritional information:
For the nutritional information, you will notice that the numbers on the calories and fat are quite high. This is taking into account that you will eat ALL of the meat and skin of a single hen. You likely won’t do that. It also includes all of the basting ingredients, whereas much of that drips off the hen while roasting. In other words, in actuality the numbers are not that alarming (but it’s difficult to pinpoint exact numbers using a nutrition calculator).
