Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken hearts
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Clean the chicken hearts by trimming any excess fat or connective tissue. Rinse under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Mince the garlic cloves finely and chop the fresh parsley. Set both aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken hearts and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.
Lower the heat to medium. Push the chicken hearts to one side of the skillet and add the butter and minced garlic to the other side. Let the butter melt and the garlic become fragrant, about 1 minute.
Mix the garlic butter into the chicken hearts, ensuring they are well coated.
Season the chicken hearts with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the chicken hearts are cooked through and tender.
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the chicken hearts. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately as a warm appetizer or pair with rice, roasted vegetables, or a side salad for a complete meal.
