Sauteed Chicken Livers With Onion And Pepper

Have you ever tried chicken livers before? Today, I am showing you how to make sauteed chicken livers with onion and pepper in just 30 minutes!

A super flavorful dish that I like to serve with pita bread or just green salad.

Sauteed Chicken Livers

I love pan-fried chicken livers; my mother used to cook them in so many different ways, such as Grilled Chicken Livers. 

What I love about this recipe is that it is simple, easy to make and makes a wonderful, quick lunch or weeknight dinner.

I also like adding bell pepper and onion; they add color, texture and flavor to this dish.

You'll Need

All the quantities are listed in the recipe card below.

• Chicken livers: Choose fresh chicken livers, look for the ones that are plump, glossy and don't have a smell. The brown livers indicate that they are not fresh.
• Bell pepper: I used yellow and red bell peppers.
• Onions and garlic: I like to use fresh onion and garlic to flavor this dish.
• Seasonings: I use Ground black pepper, Chili powder and salt.
• Butter: I use butter to saute the onion, garlic, bell pepper and chicken livers.
• Apple cider vinegar: I add just 1 tablespoon for extra flavor.

How To Wash Chicken Livers

It is important to wash the livers before cooking them. Personally, I soak chicken livers in water mixed with 1 tablespoon of vinegar for 10 minutes, then wash them thoroughly with water. This process helps in reducing the liver smell.

How To Saute Chicken Livers With Onion And Pepper

One: Firstly, wash the chicken liver.

Two: Chop the pepper and mince the garlic and onion.

Three: Heat the butter In a pan over medium heat, along with chopped pepper, minced onion and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the pepper softens.

Four: Once the previous mixture softens, add the chicken liver and cook for 2-3 minutes, then add the apple cider vinegar, black pepper, chilli powder and salt, lower the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the livers are fully cooked.

Tip: USDA Food Safety advised that chicken livers will be completely cooked once the internal temperature reaches 165°F (73.9°C); it will still be pink from the inside.

Top Tips!

• Don't over-stir the liver while cooking because it is so soft and may get mushed easily.
• Don’t overcook chicken livers; once the internal temperature reaches 165°F, it is done; otherwise, it will turn out dry!

Serve This Dish With

I usually serve this dish with Gyro Bread (Greek Pita Bread) and some Buttered Peas.
