2 Cornish hens about 1 1/4 pounds each, split, backbones removed
Salt, pepper and paprika to season the hens
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup diced onion
2 cloves minced garlic
1 teaspoon fennel powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 cups raw long grain white rice
10 to 15 small baby bok choy or Shanghai bok choy cut crosswise in 1/2 inch pieces
3 cups chicken broth (plus more if needed)

1
Heat the butter and olive oil in a large shallow pan with a lid that is ovenproof. Season the hen halves liberally with salt, pepper and paprika. Brown the hens on each side until golden. Remove from the pan temporarily.
2
To the same pan add the diced onion and garlic and saute until the onion softens a bit. Stir in the fennel powder, salt and black pepper.
3
Stir in the rice, add 2 cups of the broth and simmer the mixture for 4 or 5 minutes. Stir in the bok choy and then push the mixture around the rim of the pan.
4
Nestle the hens, skin side up, in the center of the pan and pour the remaining cup of chicken broth over all.

Cover and bake for 30 minutes in a preheated 350F oven. Uncover, stir the rice a bit (adding more broth if the rice is dry) and continue to bake 20 to 30 minutes more until the hens are done.
