Ingredients

• 1 pound Chicken livers
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Creole seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 small Shallot, finely minced
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
• 0.5 cup White wine
• 0.5 cup Chicken stock
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the chicken livers under cold water and trim away any connective tissue or fat. Place them in a bowl of milk and let soak for 20 minutes to mellow the flavor.

Step 2

While the livers soak, prepare the flour mixture. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, Creole seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.

Step 3

Drain the livers and pat them dry with paper towels. Dredge each chicken liver in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring they are well-coated. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil over medium-high heat. When the butter is melted and foaming, add the coated livers in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 5

Cook the livers for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove them from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.

Step 6

Lower the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced shallot and garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and translucent.

Step 7

Optionally, add cayenne pepper for a touch of heat, stirring to combine.

Step 8

Deglaze the skillet with white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Allow the wine to reduce by half, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Stir in the chicken stock and continue to simmer the sauce for another 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 10

Return the cooked livers to the skillet, gently stirring to coat them in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until heated through.

Step 11

Finish the dish by sprinkling the chopped parsley and drizzling the lemon juice over the top. Stir gently to combine.

Step 12

Serve immediately, either as an appetizer or over rice, toast, or mashed potatoes for a heartier meal.
