Clean the chicken livers by cutting off any connective tissue and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
Peel and slice the onions into thin rings.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well.
Dredge the chicken livers in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour.
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbly.
Add the onions to the skillet and sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and caramelized. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the chicken livers in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through, but still tender inside.
Return the onions to the skillet with the chicken livers and stir gently to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley and a splash of lemon juice for brightness.
Serve warm with crusty bread, mashed potatoes, or rice for a complete meal.
