Ingredients

• 250 grams chicken liver
• 1 medium onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 125 milliliters low sodium chicken broth
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
• 4 slices whole grain bread
• 1 cup leafy greens (e.g., lettuce or spinach)
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the chicken livers under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Chop the onion finely and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt unsalted butter over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 5

Add the chicken livers to the skillet and cook for about 4-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned on the outside but still slightly pink inside.

Step 6

Pour in the low sodium chicken broth and add the black pepper and fresh thyme, then stir to combine.

Step 7

Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the liquid to reduce slightly.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the balsamic vinegar.

Step 9

Toast the whole grain bread slices to your liking.

Step 10

Assemble each sandwich by placing leafy greens on a slice of toasted bread, topping with half of the liver mixture, and then another slice of bread.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium savory liver sandwich.
