This dish has what I would like to refer to as LAYERS. Each layer works together to create the perfect meal. Its a little more hands on but once prepared it is so worth the effort as you cut into the succulent Cornish Hen, pile on a roasted potato and mushroom then on the same fork dip all that into the sauce for the perfect bite. Mouthwatering and flavorful, meal time has never tasted so good!
