Step 1:

Gather the ingredients from the list. Rinse the chicken livers well, trim off any membranes and fat, and pat them dry. Cut the livers into pieces.
Step 2:

Wash the carrot, peel it, and grate it on the medium side of a box grater.
Step 3:

Peel the onion and finely chop it with a knife.
Step 4:

Pour the vegetable oil into a skillet and heat it up. Add the prepped vegetables and sauté for 5–7 minutes, until the carrot softens.
Step 5:

Remove the sautéed vegetables from the skillet.
Step 6:

Add a little more oil to the same skillet and add the prepped livers. Fry over medium heat for about 10 minutes, until lightly browned, stirring now and then so they cook evenly on all sides.
Step 7:

Return the carrot and onion to the skillet with the livers. Fry everything together for another 7 minutes. Season to taste with salt and ground black pepper. If you like, add other spices too — cardamom, curry, paprika, or whatever you prefer.
Step 8:

Stir the sour cream together with the water in a separate bowl and pour the mixture into the skillet with the livers and vegetables. Stir, bring to a boil, cover, and simmer over low heat for about 5–7 minutes. The dish is done. The livers in sour cream sauce come out juicy, tender, and delicious — they go with just about any side, especially pasta, mashed potatoes, buckwheat, or rice. Enjoy!

Chicken liver is a very nourishing food. It's rich in vitamins A and E, which help keep skin, hair, and nails healthy, smooth out wrinkles, and are good for the eyes. It also contains vitamin C, which supports the immune system and helps fight off colds. The iron in it raises hemoglobin, and tryptophan improves sleep. Selenium supports the circulatory system and cleanses the blood, and liver is also beneficial for people with diabetes or metabolic issues. On top of that, liver is high in easily digestible protein that fills you up quickly — so a small portion is enough to satisfy, and it's low in calories to boot.
