Delightful Cornish Hens

Ingredients

• 1 green bell pepper, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, minced
• 1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro, or more to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 (.18 ounce) packet sazon seasoning
• 2 teaspoons onion powder
• 1 teaspoon adobo seasoning
• Salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 onions, peeled
• 2 Cornish game hens
• 2 tablespoons butter

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Mix green bell pepper, red bell pepper, cilantro, olive oil, sazon seasoning, onion powder, adobo seasoning, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Place 1 clove garlic and 1 onion into the cavity of each hen. Spread seasoning-oil mixture with your hands over the entire outer surface of each hen. Arrange hens on prepared baking sheet; top each with 1 tablespoon butter.

Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
