Ingredients

  • 500g chicken livers, cleaned and trimmed
  • 2 large onions, sliced thinly
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or fresh thyme
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth (optional)

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes, or until soft and caramelized. Lower the heat if they brown too quickly.
  • Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  • Add the chicken livers to the skillet and season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
  • Optionally, add balsamic vinegar and chicken broth for extra flavor. Stir and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving.

Notes

  • Variations: Spice it up with cayenne or chili flakes, add rosemary or oregano for extra herb flavor, or make it creamy by stirring in a splash of cream or sour cream at the end.
  • Storage/Reheating: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave.
  • Make Ahead: Prepare onions and garlic in advance for a quicker cook time.
