"Hearty, but delicate in flavor, this is an upscale version of Cajun
'Dirty Rice'."

foam dies down, then add chicken livers. Cook, turning occasionally,
until browned, about 2 minutes. Remove livers from skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, cook onion over medium heat until golden. Add broth,
