Chicken Liver Stroganoff with Greek Yogurt
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 pound chicken livers, cleaned and deveined (about 1 pint)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced about 1/8-inch thick (about 4 cups)
- 1 small red onion, cut in 1/2-inch dice (about 1 cup)
- 1/4 cup cognac or dry sherry
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup whole Greek yogurt
- 12 ounces wide egg noodles
- 1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, roughly chopped
- Bring a large stockpot of salted water to a boil (it should taste like sea water).
- Meanwhile, heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large, straight-sided saute pan until it shimmers.
- Sprinkle the chicken livers liberally with salt and pepper.
- In two batches, add the chicken livers to the hot oil and brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per batch.
- Transfer the browned livers to a plate.
- Once all of the livers have been browned, add 2 tablespoons of the butter to the pan.
- Add the mushrooms and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add 2 more tablespoons of the butter and the onions, season with salt and pepper and cook until slightly softened and lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Take the pan off of the heat and carefully add the cognac.
- Stir to combine, place the pan back on the heat and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Add the chicken broth and cook until reduced by half, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, slice the browned livers into long strips about 1/2-inch thick.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, stir the yogurt into the sauce and season with salt and pepper.
- Then add the livers and stir to combine.
- Simmer the sauce until the livers are cooked to your liking, 3 to 5 minutes for medium.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- While the livers are cooking in the sauce, cook the egg noodles in the boiling water until al dente, 5 to 8 minutes.
- Then drain.
- Toss the hot egg noodles with the remaining butter and half of the parsley.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- To serve, divide the egg noodles among 4 to 6 bowls and top with the chicken livers and sauce.
- Garnish with the remaining parsley.
- Alternatively, this dish can be served family-style on a large platter.
