Chicken Livers

Print Recipe
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 3 large onions thinly sliced
  • 3/4 teaspoon sea salt divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper divided
  • 1 1/4 pounds chicken livers each cut in half (or skinless, boneless chicken thighs)
  • 1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 hard-cooked egg chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over moderate heat.
  • Add the onions, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/8 teaspoon of the pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are well cooked, about 15 minutes. Remove onions to a serving platter or individual plates.
  • In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over moderately high heat.
  • Season the chicken livers with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Put the livers in the pan (in two batches if necessary) and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Turn and cook until browned, about 2 minutes longer.
  • The livers will still be pink inside. Remove the chicken livers from the pan and put them on top of the onions.
  • Return the skillet to the heat and add the Madeira. Boil rapidly, scraping the bottom of the pan to dislodge any brown bits, for 1 minute. Pour the sauce over the livers and the onions. Top with the egg and parsley.
