Start by cleaning the chicken livers. Remove any connective tissues and fat, rinse under cold water, and pat dry with a paper towel.
Season the livers with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions to the pan. Cook on medium-low heat for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onions become golden brown and caramelized. Add the balsamic vinegar to deglaze the pan, stirring for another minute. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Using the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken livers and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.
While the livers are cooking, prepare the garlic aioli. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic with mayonnaise. Mix well.
Toast the ciabatta rolls lightly in a toaster or on a grill.
To assemble the sandwich, spread a generous amount of garlic aioli on the bottom half of each toasted ciabatta roll.
Layer the cooked liver slices evenly on top of the aioli. Add caramelized onions over the liver.
Finish with a handful of fresh arugula on top, then cover with the other half of the toasted roll.
Serve the sandwiches warm and enjoy the robust flavors in each bite.
