Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes, allowing the hearts to cook through gently and stay tender.

Remove the foil and return to the oven for another 10 minutes until the vegetables soften and the hearts develop a light golden crust.

💡 Chef's Tip
Make sure to clean the chicken hearts thoroughly, removing any blood clots for the best texture. A squeeze of lemon juice added to the marinade brightens all the flavors.
