Simple Chicken Livers with Onions

simple and delicious chicken liver recipe that’s quick to prepare and rich in flavor.

Equipment

Frying pan or skillet
Wooden spoon or spatula
Sharp knife
chopping board
measuring spoons

Ingredients

500 grams chicken livers, cleaned and trimmed
2 tbsp olive oil or butter
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp paprika (optional)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

Prep the livers – Rinse, trim off excess fat, and pat dry with paper towels.
Cook the onions – Heat olive oil/butter in a pan over medium heat. Add sliced onions and sauté until golden and soft (about 8–10 minutes). Remove and set aside.
Sear the livers – In the same pan, add the chicken livers. Cook on medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes per side until browned on the outside but still slightly pink inside (do not overcook, or they’ll turn tough).
Add flavor – Add garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well for 1–2 minutes.
Combine – Return the onions to the pan and mix everything together for a final 1–2 minutes.
Serve – Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy with crusty bread, rice, or pap.
