Is chicken heart gumbo a real thing?

I was checking out the meat counter at a grocery near Henderson La and found 2lb packages of chicken hearts and thought it might be bait. Was told by cashier they were for heart gumbo. I'd like a recipe if anybody has one. Packs of chicken liver are pretty common, but I've haven't seen hearts anywhere else.

I buy them when I grill or BBQ. My dog loves any and all organ meat. I haven't heard of heart gumbo.

Googled chicken heart gumbo recipes and didn't any actual recipes but did see this on a FB post and the caption read
"yes those are chicken hearts in my gumbo"

It's very common to throw it all in the pot
If I have hearts and/or gizzards available, they're going in the pot

I've put many a duck or goose heart in gumbo, but I've never called a duck heart gumbo. Just a duck gumbo

My mother used to cook hearts and livers together in a little oil then water added as it dried. It made a gravy. I miss it.

I like it. I just make a regular chicken/sausage gumbo and add a container of hearts. Chicken liver is really good in gumbo as well.

That picture of the desk or table he is eating on is giving me anxiety

Never had them in gumbo, but my high school used to fry up all the hearts, livers, and gizzards when they served fried chicken. They put them in a big bowl and you could get them if you wanted. Most people turned up their nose, but being a17-year-old bottomless pit, I found I loved hearts and livers.

Hearts go in my chicken and sausage gumbo when I am at the camp.

My old creole neighbor in New Orleans used to put freaking everything in her gumbos. She gave me some the first time, and I asked what type of gumbo it was, and she said "honey, it's best you don't know." It definitely had hearts in it, plus Lord knows what else. I'll try any food once, so I had some. Eh, not my favorite.
The only chicken heart I've ever liked was yakitori-style. Heart has always been a little too chewy for my tastes.

Never heard of that in a gumbo but my MIL will fight you some grilled chicken heart
With that said, fried deer heart is amazing also

I love eating chicken hearts, gizzards and livers and one of my all-time favorites are the huge duck gizzards. Those damn things make chicken gizzards look downright puny by comparison.

I would fight someone over fried chicken livers.

At what point would you put the hearts in? Towards the end or let em go for the entire cook?
