About the benefits of chicken hearts

Chicken heart is the smallest offal that can be eaten on its own. On average, one heart weighs about 30 grams, and its length on average reaches 4 centimeters. However, despite small size, it has a lot of benefits. This product is considered one of the best for consumption (from offal), as it does not accumulate toxins. It contains a lot of useful substances that will saturate the body and help it function normally:

  • Also, 100 grams of chicken hearts contain only 160 kcal. For comparison, dietary muesli, which many girls consume when they want to lose weight, has twice as many calories;
  • Chicken hearts also contain B vitamins (B1, B2, B5, B6, B9, B12). By the way, vitamin B12 is not found in plant products. All these vitamins in combination help metabolism, normalize the production of hormones and enzymes, and much more;
  • Vitamin B12 has a beneficial effect on work nervous system;

Chicken hearts simply need to be included in the diet of athletes, people who suffer from heart or nervous system diseases, as well as those who have anemia. This product will also be useful for pregnant women and children. People who suffer rehabilitation period after surgery or recovering from a serious illness or injury.

However, hearts contain cholesterol, which is harmful to human health. Therefore, it is not recommended to eat chicken heart dishes more than three times a week.

Also, if a person has an individual intolerance to this product or an allergy, then, of course, you should not eat it.

In order to get a high-quality and healthy dish, you need to choose fresh or chilled hearts rather than frozen ones. Also, before preparing the hearts, they need to be thoroughly cleaned, removing fat and blood clots that may remain in the chambers.

Weighing all the pros and cons, we can conclude that chicken hearts can and should be consumed by every person, but in limited quantities and only high-quality, proven products.

Chicken by-products are very healthy and tasty. But it takes a long time to cook them on the stove, and they don’t always turn out soft. But with the advent of a multicooker in my kitchen, I began to cook them much more often, since they always come out of it! The most common way to prepare this product is undoubtedly stewing with the addition. I’m sharing a recipe for making chicken hearts in cheese sauce in a slow cooker. This dish turns out incredibly tasty and satisfying. Try making chicken hearts with cheese according to my recipe, and you won’t regret it!

Ingredients:

  • chicken hearts – 1 kg
  • onions – 2 pcs.
  • processed cheese – 2 pcs
  • salt and pepper - to taste

Chicken hearts must be cleaned of films and the excess cut off (the “fat” and “tubes” on top). You don’t have to do this, but it’s a matter of taste. For example, I can easily eat unpeeled hearts, but my husband cannot. Although it is best to buy them already peeled, they are not sold in this form everywhere.

After 40 minutes, you need to add pre-chopped onions. And leave to simmer for another 30 minutes.

10 minutes before the end, add salt and pepper, add grated processed cheese (to make it easier to grate, I advise you to put it in the freezer for 5-10 minutes).

That's basically it! It turns out very tasty and unusual. In the end, I would like to add that in this way you can cook not only chicken hearts, but also other meat and offal products. The beef turns out very tasty.

Bon appetit!!!
