Ingredients

• 1 pound chicken gizzards
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 medium onion
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 4 cups chicken stock
• 12 ounces egg noodles
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the chicken gizzards thoroughly under cold water and trim away any excess fat or tough membranes.

Step 2

Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the gizzards for 5 minutes. Drain and set them aside.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, toss the blanched gizzards with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika until evenly coated.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the seasoned gizzards and sear for 5-7 minutes until lightly browned.

Step 5

Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic. Add them to the pan with the gizzards and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes to tenderize the gizzards.

Step 7

While the gizzards are simmering, bring a separate pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain the noodles once cooked and set them aside.

Step 8

After 30 minutes of simmering, stir the heavy cream into the gizzard mixture and heat through for 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Add the cooked egg noodles to the pan, stirring to combine and coat the noodles in the sauce.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your comforting gizzards and noodles!
