For enhanced flavor, consider browning the Cornish hens in a skillet before placing them in the slow cooker. This adds a delightful depth and richness to the final dish. Serve over a bed of wild rice or quinoa to soak up the savory sauce. Steamed green beans or a crisp salad make excellent accompaniments. If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute cream of mushroom soup for the golden mushroom soup.
