Ready In
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line the inside of a roasting pan with aluminum foil.
- Place hens, breast-side up, in the prepared roasting pan.
- Mix 1 tablespoon garlic and herb seasoning with 1 package cream cheese in a bowl. Stuff cream cheese mixture in 1 hen. Repeat with 1 tablespoon garlic and herb seasoning and remaining 1 package cream cheese; stuff the second hen.
- Brush hens with melted butter; sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon garlic and herb seasoning. Season with salt. Cover hens with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove aluminum foil and bake until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 15 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Footnotes
- Tip
- Aluminum foil helps keep food moist, ensures it cooks evenly, keeps leftovers fresh, and makes clean-up easy.

Made this recipe as written, with no changes. Actually, we were disappointed. Will not be making this again.

Out of this world indeed! I marinaded the cornish hens with garlic,rosemary,salt,white wine and Kansas steak seasoning for 4 hours before cooking. Mouthwatering taste. Highly recommended.

This was a delicious recipe! I did however only use one package of cream cheese. I also added some McCormick Montreal chicken seasoning to my cream cheese!

This was easy and turned out fine. The meat was moist and juicy. I did have to turn on the broiler for the last couple of minutes to get it brown.

I made this recipe exactly as written. It was so yummy! We had crusty french bread to dip in the cream cheese mixture and a salad. I will definitely make this again
