Chicken Livers With Mushrooms

Submitted by PennyG

"This should probably be called Chicken livers and gravy as it forms a wonderful tasting gravy. I've had this recipe for years but don't remember where I got it. I'm posting the recipe as written and added my additions at the end. Hope you like it, can be easily doubled or tripled.(though I don't double the margarine for cooking the livers)"

 

• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 2

ingredients

• 1⁄2 lb chicken liver, seperated
• 2 tablespoons margarine
• 10 ounces mushroom stems and pieces, canned
• 1⁄4 cup water
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt, if desired
• 1⁄8 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon parsley flakes
• 1 teaspoon instant chicken bouillon or 1 chicken bouillon cube

directions

1. Boil water, add bouillon to dissolve, set aside.
2. Melt margarine in 8 inch skillet.
3. Brown livers over medium heat, stirring occasionally for 3-4 minutes.
4. Stir in mushrooms (with liquid)
5. Add bouillon/water, flour, salt(if using), pepper and parsley.
6. Heat to boiling.
7. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered
8. Stir occasionally until livers are done, about 5 minutes.
9. I usually use fresh sliced mushrooms as I don't really care for canned. Sorry, I'm not sure of the exact amount I use, I just add until it looks like enough -- oh, and I add about another 1/8 - 1/4 cup of water too if I use fresh mushrooms.
10. I also add about 1/4 cup of diced onions and fry with liver for added flavour.
11. I also do not add additional salt as I feel there is enough in the bouillon but the choice is yours.

Lovely recipe. For some reason my chicken livers were extremly soft, not like thet are usually so I didn't make the gravy - I was afraid that they would be too mushy. I love having gravy but they were excellent even without it.

Very good!! Made as written, except used fresh mushrooms and added a tbsp of worcester sauce. Also, tossed the livers in a bag of flour before frying so didn't have to worry about adding flour later. Added onions as suggested. Yummy! Thanks Penny.
