Description
A nutritious homemade meal for your dog, made with lean ground chicken, brown rice, and fresh vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups brown rice
- 2 pounds lean ground chicken
- 2 cups spinach, chopped
- 1 large carrot, shredded (about 1 cup)
- 1 small zucchini, shredded (about 1 cup)
- 4 cups water (for cooking rice)
Instructions
- In a large pot or saucepan, combine 4 cups of water and brown rice. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer (medium low to low heat) and cover.
- Cook rice for 45 minutes or until the rice is completely soft and all the water is absorbed.
- While the rice is cooking, cook the ground chicken in a large skillet over medium high heat until no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.
- Add the spinach, carrot, and zucchini to the skillet with the chicken. Cook until the spinach wilts and the other vegetables soften, about 3-4 minutes.
- Take the chicken and vegetable mixture off the heat and set aside to cool.
- When the rice is finished cooking, stir together the rice and ground chicken mixture.
- Let cool completely before serving to your dog or storing for later.
Notes
- Make sure the food is completely cool before serving to prevent burns.
- You can customize the vegetables based on your dog’s preferences or dietary needs.
