Pour hot water into the frying pan, cover with a lid and simmer the hearts for 30 minutes over low heat. Add salt and pepper about 5 minutes before the end of cooking. Add cream to the hearts and stir. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for another 5-7 minutes.

Chicken hearts in creamy sauce - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a different type of meat instead of chicken hearts?

Yes! You can substitute chicken hearts with chicken thighs, beef hearts, or even mushrooms for a vegetarian version. Adjust cooking times accordingly.

How can I make this dish dairy-free?

Replace the cream with coconut milk or a dairy-free cream alternative for a rich, creamy texture without dairy.

How long can I store leftovers in the fridge?

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove to maintain the creamy texture.

Can I freeze this dish for later?

Yes, but it's best to freeze without the cream. Thaw in the fridge overnight, reheat, and add fresh cream before serving.

What sides pair well with this creamy chicken heart dish?

Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce. A fresh green salad adds a nice contrast.

How can I make this recipe spicier?

Add red pepper flakes, diced jalapeños, or a dash of hot sauce when cooking the onions for extra heat.

Why do I need to simmer the hearts for 30 minutes?

Slow simmering tenderizes the chicken hearts and allows them to absorb flavors. Skipping this step may result in tougher meat.

Can I make this in a slow cooker?

Yes! Brown the hearts and onions first, then transfer to a slow cooker with water and cook on low for 4-5 hours. Add cream at the end.

What if my sauce is too thin?

Let it simmer uncovered for a few extra minutes to thicken. You can also mix a teaspoon of cornstarch with cold water and stir it in.

Is this dish keto-friendly?

Yes! Chicken hearts are low-carb, and the cream fits keto guidelines. Serve with keto-friendly sides like cauliflower mash or zucchini noodles.
