SAUTEED CHICKEN LIVERS

Time 30m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb chicken liver
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine
1 small onion, minced
1/4 small green pepper, slivered
1 (10 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
1/4 cup dry white wine or 1/4 cup chicken broth
hot cooked noodles
paprika (to garnish)
chopped parsley (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Clean the chicken livers by rinsing well, cutting each in half and removing all membranes and any fat. Pat dry.
  • Heat oil and butter in a large non-stick skillet. Saute livers, turning frequently, until light brown outside and just pink inside. (Or a little longer, if you like your livers well-done as my DH does.) Remove to a plate and keep warm.
  • Stir-fry the onion and green pepper in same skillet until golden and tender. Add soup and vermouth to skillet and stir to blend. Heat until creamy and hot.
  • Return livers to skillet. Cook and stir to combine and heat through.
  • Serve over hot noodles, garnished with paprika and parsley as desired.
  • Note: Mushrooms go well in this dish. You can add them in one of two ways. Saute approximately 1/4 to 1/3 pound sliced fresh mushrooms with the onion and green pepper. An easier way, if desired, is to add a 4-ounce can of drained mushrooms with the livers at the end of the recipe.

Tips:

  • Clean the chicken livers thoroughly: Rinse the chicken livers under cold water and remove any visible fat or connective tissue. Cut each liver into bite-sized pieces.
  • Season the chicken livers: Season the chicken livers with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices or herbs. You can also use a pre-made seasoning mix.
  • Use a well-seasoned skillet: A well-seasoned skillet will help prevent the chicken livers from sticking. If you don't have a well-seasoned skillet, you can season it by heating some oil in the skillet over medium heat and then rubbing the oil all over the surface of the skillet with a paper towel.
  • Cook the chicken livers over medium heat: Cooking the chicken livers over medium heat will help prevent them from becoming tough and overcooked.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the chicken livers will not cook evenly. Cook the chicken livers in batches if necessary.
  • Serve the chicken livers immediately: Chicken livers are best served immediately after they are cooked. You can serve them with a variety of side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or salad.
