Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup of cooked brown rice (plain, no added salt or seasonings)
- ½ cup of cooked, diced chicken breast (unseasoned)
- ¼ cup of peas and carrots (steamed, no added salt or seasonings)
- 1 egg (optional, scrambled)
- 1 tablespoon of coconut oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Cook the brown rice and steam the peas and carrots if not already done. Dice the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Cook the Egg (Optional): In a non-stick frying pan, heat a small amount of coconut oil over medium heat. Crack the egg into the pan, scramble until fully cooked, then remove and set aside.
- Sauté Chicken and Veggies: In the same pan, add a little more coconut oil. Toss in the diced chicken, peas, and carrots. Sauté until heated through.
- Combine Everything: Add the cooked rice to the pan and stir everything together. If using scrambled egg, add it now. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is well mixed and warm.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the fried rice to cool before serving it to your dog.
Notes
- Ensure the fried rice is completely cooled before serving to your dog to prevent burns.
- Avoid adding any seasonings, salt, garlic, or onions, as these can be harmful to dogs.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days, or freeze in portion-sized containers for up to a month.
