Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups of chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
- 1 cup of white or brown rice
- 1 cup of carrots, diced
- 1/2 cup of broccoli florets, chopped (optional)
- 4 cups of water or low-sodium chicken broth
Instructions
- Trim excess fat from the chicken breasts and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water or low-sodium chicken broth to a boil and add the chicken.
- Reduce heat to a simmer and cook the chicken for 15-20 minutes, or until fully cooked. Remove the chicken and set it aside to cool, then shred or chop into small pieces.
- Using the same pot, bring the reserved liquid or fresh water to a boil and add 1 cup of rice.
- Cover and reduce heat to a simmer, cooking until the rice is soft (15 minutes for white rice, 30 minutes for brown rice).
- While the rice cooks, chop the carrots and broccoli into small pieces and lightly steam them until tender.
- Combine the shredded chicken, cooked rice, and steamed vegetables in a large bowl. Mix well.
- Allow the mixture to cool completely before serving to your dog.
Notes
- Do not add salt, onions, garlic, or spices, as they can be harmful to dogs.
- Consult with your vet before making major dietary changes for your dog, especially if they have medical conditions.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-5 days or freeze individual portions for later use.
