Gizzards need time to become tender, while hearts cook more quickly. Simmer first, then brown with onions and garlic for a simple, hearty skillet meal.

Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken gizzards, hearts, or a mix
• 1 onion, sliced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 Tbsp olive oil, avocado oil, or chicken fat
• Sea salt and black pepper
• Fresh parsley or thyme

Directions

1. Cover gizzards with water, add bay leaf, and simmer 60 to 90 minutes until tender.
2. Add hearts during the final 20 minutes if using both.
3. Drain and slice larger pieces.
4. Brown onion and garlic in oil or chicken fat, then add the cooked gizzards and hearts.
5. Season and finish with fresh herbs.
