by

This recipe for brown rice and chicken is filling and healthy for your pet. Each bite tastes of homemade love.

Ingredients

  1. One pound of skinless, boneless chicken breasts or thighs
  2. 2 cups of brown rice
  3. 1 cup chopped mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, green beans, etc.)
  4. 4 cups water or low-sodium chicken broth
  5. 1 tablespoon of coconut oil or olive oil (optional; for added healthy fats)
  6. Optional supplements: fish oil, calcium carbonate, and a vitamin/mineral blend designed specifically for dogs.

Instructions

  1. As directed on the package, prepare the brown rice. For extra flavor, you can use low-sodium chicken broth or water.
  1. In a separate pot, boil the chicken until it’s done and the insides are no longer pink, while the rice is cooking. Depending on the size of the chicken pieces, this usually takes 15 to 20 minutes.
  1. Take the cooked chicken out of the pot and allow it to cool slightly. The chicken should then be shredded with a fork or your hands into tiny, bite-sized pieces.
  1. Add the chopped vegetables, cooked brown rice, and shredded chicken to a large mixing bowl. To evenly distribute the ingredients, thoroughly mix.
  1. For extra beneficial fats, feel free to add a tablespoon of coconut oil or olive oil to the mixture.
  1. Before giving your dog any of the mixture, let it cool completely. Any leftovers can be kept for up to three or four days in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
  1. If you use supplements, speak with your veterinarian to figure out how much is right for your dog’s size and medical requirements. Just before serving, you can stir the supplements into the meal.
  1. As a full meal or to add some variety and nutrition to your dog’s regular kibble, serve the homemade chicken and brown rice dog food.
