It is part of a chicken.
It is very salty, and is usually put into a stew.
Very tasty.
It tastes even better when you think about what it is, and what was in there.

Quote from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gizzard#In_cuisine
In Yiddish, gizzards are referred to as "pipik'lach", literally meaning navels. The gizzards of kosher species of birds have a green or yellowish membrane lining the inside, which must be peeled off before cooking, as it lends a very bitter taste to the food. In traditional Eastern European Jewish cuisine, the gizzards, necks, and feet of chickens were often cooked together, although not the liver, which per Kosher law must be broiled. Kosher butchers often sell roasting chickens with the gizzard, neck, and feet butchered and left in the cavity to be used for making chicken soup.

I thought it was a belly. Or belly button. Not just on a chicken.  Is that wrong?

With regards to a mammal, it means belly button.
With regards to a bird, it means a gizzard, aka קורקבן.
