Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup brown rice
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 1 sweet potato, peeled and diced
- 1 cup green beans, chopped
- 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Wash and chop the carrots, sweet potato, and green beans into small, bite-sized pieces.
- Cook the Chicken: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, until fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the pot, let it cool, then shred it into small pieces.
- Cook the Vegetables: In the same pot, add the chopped carrots, sweet potato, and green beans. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Add Broth and Rice: Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and add the brown rice. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 40 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.
- Combine and Simmer: Add the shredded chicken back into the pot and stir well. Let the soup simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the soup to cool to a safe temperature before serving it to your dog.
Notes
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze in portions for up to 3 months.
- Substitutions: You can substitute white rice for brown rice or add dog-safe vegetables like peas or zucchini.
- Serving Size: Adjust the serving size based on your dog’s size and dietary needs.
