It’s no secret organ meats are a champion in nutrient density. Their nutrient content is easily absorbed, especially for those with a damaged intestinal tract. Many nutritional deficiencies can be satisfied through organ meats. The problem is… they’re organ meats.
This delectable dish goes against all understanding, defies reality and will even leave teenage boys begging for more. In fact, that’s happened on more than one occasion here. This dish is a food you will not have to hide in meals – it shines right out in the open, proud to display its nutritional value!
Bacon wrapped hearts are delicious, mouthwatering and make the whole body tingle as it’s flooded with nourishment. It’s a true treat! More importantly, this dish is about the easiest dish a girl can make! Then when you consider the fact that three bacon wrapped hearts will satisfy your hunger for over 3 hours, it’s a must have food.
A whole tray can be made as an appetizer dish literally in a few minutes prep time. Any heart will do, just cut it up into bite-size pieces.
Ingredients
- Pastured chicken hearts
- Pastured bacon
Instructions
Wrap one heart with one slice of bacon. Place on a pan with edges so bacon grease does not splash and drip down into the oven. Cook at 350°F for 30 minutes. Thicker sliced bacon takes much longer to cook.

We don’t eat a ton of organ meat over here but I know they have great nutritional benefits. And wrapping them in Bacon could help keep them moist and add flavor.
Obviously it is important to get really high quality organ meat (and Bacon). We’ll plan to try this recipe soon. Thanks for sharing!
Wonderful, let us know how you like them!
I’m going to make these tomorrow, to bring them to a southern Christmas party. I’m sure it will be a hit. But…a whole slice of bacon on one heart?! That’s going to get to be a highly expensive appetizer. I may cut that slice of bacon.
I’ve done them both ways and like one slice per heart. Let us know how they turn out for you.
This looks awesome… the only organ meat I tried was cooking calf liver from Wal-mart… needless to say, that did not come out… edible lol… So my question is WHERE do y’all find good organ meats?
Let. Me know if you find out👌
I get mine from US wellness meats or my farmers market

Im going to try this recipe next week and see how it fairs with my family. Making fried pork sweetbreads for supper tonight. I have a goal to incorporate 3 organ meat meals a week. So far I make meatloaf with liver once a week and that has gone well. Now to try sweetbreads tonight….
Had my first lot of chicken hearts wrapped in bacon tonight. To die for!!!
I cannot get organic chicken hearts. Can I use the heart from beef instead?
The hearts we get aren’t certified organic but we get them from our local farm vender at the farmers market. We’re able to speak with them and ask about feed and lifestyle conditions of their animals and determine if the meat meets our standard. Maybe it could be possible for you to try out your local market if you have one? Imo beef heart is a very different taste and texture but who knows, maybe wrapping it in bacon would be delicious! I hope you try it out and let us know 🙂
Can you do bacon wrapped chicken gizzards?
