Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken livers, cleaned and trimmed
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Method
 

  1. Rinse chicken livers and pat completely dry with paper towels. Trim any connective tissue or green spots.
  2. Mix flour with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Dredge each liver in the seasoned flour, shaking off excess.
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add livers in a single layer and cook 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  4. Add remaining butter to the skillet. Add sliced onions and cook 5-7 minutes until caramelized. Add garlic and cook 1 minute.
  5. Return livers to the skillet, add chicken broth, and simmer 2 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
