Chicken Hearts Recipes

CHICKEN HEARTS

Steps:

• Marinate (optional): combine the garlic, olive oil, and salt/pepper in a bag and add the chicken hearts; marinate for 2-3 hours.
• Saute the leek or onion and additional garlic and ginger (if using) in olive oil until soft.
• Add the chicken hearts and saute over medium heat until done, stirring occasionally.
• Alternatively, saute chicken hearts halfway and finish in the broiler.
• Can also be cooked on skewers on the grill. Be sure to soak the skewers in water first.
• Time does not include optional marination time.

CHICKEN HEARTS WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook and stir onion until soft and translucent, 4 to 6 minutes. Add chicken hearts and brown, stirring constantly, about 3 minutes. Cover skillet, reduce heat, and cook until hearts are no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes. Add mushrooms and mix well. Cook, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

CHICKEN HEARTS RECIPE

Steps:

• Place the chicken hearts, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika and cumin in a large bowl.
• Use a large spoon, or your hands, to mix everything together, coating the hearts with the oil and seasonings.
• Heat a large, heavy frypan over medium-high heat, for about 3 minutes.
• Add the seasoned chicken hearts. Cook, stirring often, until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes. If the pan becomes too hot, lower the heat to medium.
• Divide the hearts between four plates. Drizzle them with the pan juices, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve.
