Best Chicken Livers With Caramelized Onions And Mushrooms Recipes

SKILLET CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOMS AND CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons oil, 2 tablespoons vinegar, the honey, mustard, red-pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon salt; whisk until smooth. Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper, then add to the mixture, coating it well. Set aside at room temperature, stirring it once while you make the onions.
• Heat a 12-inch cast-iron or heavy skillet over medium-high until very hot, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, then add the onions in an even layer. Season with salt, then cook, mostly undisturbed, for 4 minutes more, stirring every minute or so. Add the mushrooms, season with salt, and stir to combine. (It will look crowded, and that's OK.) Allow to cook mostly undisturbed until the mushrooms shrink and start to brown, about 4 minutes, stirring every minute or so.
• Stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and allow the onions to cook until they start to color, stirring and lowering the heat as necessary to avoid burning, about 2 minutes. Push the onions and mushrooms to the edges of the skillet, then add the chicken pieces to the center. Pour any remaining marinade (there will be very little) over the onions and mushrooms. Cook undisturbed for 4 to 5 minutes, then combine the chicken and vegetables and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes more. (Reduce the heat to medium if the onions look like they are burning at any point.)
• Add the remaining 2 teaspoons sherry vinegar, stirring and scraping up anything on the bottom of the skillet. Season to taste with salt.
• Remove from the heat and top with the parsley and cheese, if using. Serve with bread or pasta.

AMAZING GARLIC CHICKEN LIVERS

Steps:

• Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir livers in the hot skillet until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Add olive oil, lemon juice, and salt to livers; gently stir until mixed. Remove skillet from heat and sprinkle garlic over livers.

SAUTéED CHICKEN LIVERS WITH MUSHROOMS AND ONIONS ON SOFT POLENTA

Steps:

• Peel the onions and cut them in half. Slice thinly. Cut off any tough stems from the mushrooms and halve them if they are large.
• Film the bottom of your largest sauté pan with olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Pat the livers dry with a paper towel and season generously with salt and pepper. When the oil is hot, add them to the pan and brown well on all sides. Transfer to a plate and drain the fat from the pan.
• Return the pan to the heat and add a couple tablespoons of olive oil. Add the mushrooms, garlic, and onions and sauté for a minute or two, until soft. Return the chicken livers to the pan and add the wine, swirling to combine. Allow the mixture to cook down until the vegetables are tender and the livers are heated through and glazed with the wine, 2 to 3 minutes. At the last minute, add the parsley and toss to combine.
• Puddle the polenta on 4 plates, making a depression in the center with the back of your spoon. Divide the chicken liver mixture among the plates, spooning it into the depression and drizzling with any juices.

CHICKEN BREASTS W/MUSHROOMS & CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Season chicken breasts with seasoned salt and pepper.
• Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet then add the breasts.
• Brown the breasts on medium heat on both sides, transfer to a baking dish and put into a 350°F oven to finish cooking.
• In the same skillet add another tbsp of oil and add the onions; sauté until translucent.
• Add a couple teaspoons of sugar and the red wine (optional) and sauté until the onions become caramelized.
• Set onions aside.
• Sauté the mushrooms in the skillet.
• Remove the breasts from the oven and spoon some of the caramelized onions atop each one, then spoon some sautéed mushrooms on each. Finally, sprinkle some blue cheese over the mushrooms and place under the broiler for a couple minutes until the cheese becomes slightly browned.
• Serve the breasts on a nest of angel hair pasta or bed of wild rice or couscous.

HEAVENLY CHICKEN LIVERS WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS AND BACON

Steps:

• Dice up onions and bacon and start them simmering in butter and garlic in a small pan. Leave this on a low heat until the onions become translucent and start becoming sweet.
• While all that is on the stove, chop up your livers and prepare a flour batter seasoned with salt and pepper. Get a thick bottom pan and let it get very hot. Flour up your meat and drop it in in batches. Keep it turning so it browns on all sides but only keep it in for around 1-2min. The inside of the meat should still be lovely and soft when you bite into it. You do NOT want to overcook livers, they have a beautiful flavor on their own.
• Serve with a side of mash potatoes and parsnips and you've got a lovely meal!
