About Chicken Liver (Cooked)
Simmered chicken liver provides approximately 167 calories, 24.5 grams of protein, 6.5 grams of fat, 0.9 grams of carbohydrate, and no fiber per 100 grams. It is far more concentrated in several vitamins and minerals than ordinary muscle meat.
Chicken liver is exceptionally rich in vitamin B12, folate, vitamin A, riboflavin, selenium, and iron. Because organ meat is so nutrient-dense, use moderate portions and include it as part of a varied diet rather than relying on it daily.
