Warm Chicken Liver And Bacon Salad Recipes

WARM CHICKEN LIVER AND BACON SALAD

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes until just under-done. Let them dry in a colander then cut in half. Meanwhile, boil or steam the beans until al dente.
• Heat the butter in a heavy frying pan. When bubbling, add the halved potatoes and saute until nicely coloured.
• Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the pan and set aside.
• Get the pan back to temperature and add the lardons. Fry for a couple of minutes, then add the livers (you want these to be ready at the same time, so if you prefer the livers well done, put them in earlier, if you prefer them pinker, you'll want to wait. It all depends on the size of your lardons and liver chnks - use your judgement!).
• Once the livers are just browned, add the balsamic vinegar and continue to cook until the meat is cooked. Add a little more balsamic if it reduces too quickly. Season with freshly ground black pepper and sea salt.
• Assemble everything into a bowl immediately before serving, pouring over the reduced balsamic jus as a dressing. Serve immediately, or the lettuce will start to wilt.

WARM CHICKEN LIVER SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the green beans in a pan of boiling water for 3 mins, drain and keep warm. Meanwhile, toss together the chicken livers, olive oil and rosemary. Heat a large non-stick pan and cook the chicken livers over a high heat for 5-6 mins until nicely browned and cooked through - they should still be a little pink in the centre.
• Arrange the beans on serving plates with the lettuce leaves and watercress. Add the vinegar to the pan, cook for a couple of seconds then spoon over the salad. Serve warm with crusty granary bread.

WARM CHICKEN AND BACON SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 190°C.
• Combine the mustard, honey, half the oil, garlic and chicken in a dish. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
• Line a small baking tray with baking paper, place the bacon on the tray and put in the oven for 5-6 minutes or until the bacon is crisp. Remove the bacon and break the into bite-sized shards.
• Place the avocado in a large serving bowl with the spinach, cos leaves, tomatoes and onion.
• Drain the chicken, reserving the marinade. Heat a large non-stick frypan over medium heat, add the chicken and cook for 7-8 minutes, turning to prevent catching, until the chicken pieces are cooked through and golden. Add the chicken to the bowl with the salad. Pour the reserved marinade into the pan, stir in the creme fraiche and cook until bubbling. Pour over the salad and give everything a good toss together. Serve while still warm.

BACON CHICKEN LIVERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to broil setting.
• Cut each slice of bacon in half and wrap around each chicken liver, securing with toothpicks.
• Broil until bacon is cooked and crisp on one side, then turn and repeat (about 6 to 8 minutes each side). Serve with honey in a bowl, for dipping.

CHICKEN LIVER SALAD

Steps:

• Wash the chicken livers under cool water. Separate into halves, discarding the connecting sinew.
• Heat the butter and 2 tablespoons of the oil until very hot in one very large saucepan (about 12 inches) or two smaller saucepans. Add the chicken livers in one layer, sprinkle them with half the salt and pepper, and saute over high heat for 1 minute, partly covering the pan with a lid to prevent splattering. Turn, and cook the livers for 1 minute more. (The livers should be pink inside.)
• Add the garlic and parsley, and mix well. With a slotted spoon, transfer the livers to a bowl, cover and set aside.
• Place the diced lettuce in a large serving bowl. Add the chicken liver pan drippings, and toss to mix well. Add the remaining salt and pepper and the vinegar, and mix well.
• Divide the salad among six individual plates, serving 4 liver halves per person. Serve immediately, while still lukewarm.

WARM CHICKEN, BACON & POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius or 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Dry-fry the bacon for approximately 5 minutes until crispy and leave to cool.
• Parboil the new potatoes for approximately 5 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes and place on a greased baking tray with the chicken breasts and garlic cloves (whole but bruised).
• Cover potatoes, chicken and garlic with oil.
• Sprinkle one tablespoon of the sugar over the potatoes.
• Roast for approximately 30 minutes, turning once halfway and sprinkling the remainder of the sugar over the potatoes.
• Prepare the salad (we use a small bag of pre-prepared salad between the two of us).
• Chop the bacon and add it in with the salad.
• Remove potatoes and chicken from the oven. Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces and mix all ingredients together with the salad.
• Add salad dressing to taste (we like Paul Newmans Italian dressing personally) and serve warm!

WARM ARTICHOKE AND CHICKEN LIVER SALAD

Steps:

• Sauté chopped bacon and chopped shallots in large skillet over medium heat until shallots are golden, about 8 minutes. Add chicken stock and Madeira, then vinegar to skillet. Boil liquid until reduced to 2/3 cup, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Whisk in 2 tablespoons olive oil and tarragon.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in another large skillet over medium-high heat. Add artichoke hearts and sauté until golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer artichoke hearts to plate. Add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to skillet. Add chicken livers and sauté until brown outside and just pink inside, about 3 1/2 minutes. Remove skillet from heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Place greens in large bowl. Toss with enough dressing to coat. Divide greens among 4 plates. Top with chicken livers and artichokes. Serve warm.

WARM CHICKEN, BACON, AND EGG SALAD WITH MAYONNAISE DRESSING

Steps:

• Place the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels. Chop bacon when cool enough to handle.
• Bring a saucepan of water to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and gently lower eggs into the boiling water using a spoon. Boil for 8 minutes. Remove immediately from heat, drain, and cover eggs with cold water.
• Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir chicken cubes, onion, and mushrooms in the hot oil until the meat is no longer pink inside and mushrooms are softened, about 10 minutes.
• Place iceberg lettuce into a salad bowl. Add chicken-mushroom mixture and bacon. Top with red bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and white Cheddar cheese. Stir mayonnaise into salad, tossing gently to coat. Peel eggs and cut each egg in half; cut halves horizontally into 3 wedges apiece. Arrange eggs on top of salad; serve warm.
