Chicken and Brown Rice Dog Food

Prep Time: 5 Minutes

Cook Time: 5 Minutes

Yields: About 1 ½ Cups

Ingredients:

1 ¼ Cup Brown Rice, cooked
3 Ounces Chicken, boiled and shredded
3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon Frozen Peas

Directions:

1- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small skillet.

2- Add the shredded chicken and cook for about 3 minutes, making sure to coat it well in the oil.

3- Add the frozen peas to the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes or just until heated through.

4- Add the remaining olive oil to the cooked rice and stir well.

5- Combine the ingredients in a bowl and serve to your doggie. 

Notes:

• You can swap out the peas for another vegetable that’s safe for dogs. Know your breed when switching out veggies. Also, know your dog’s preferences as well. If they don’t prefer certain vegetables, don’t use them. Just be sure to stick with 1 tablespoon of whatever vegetable you choose.
• You can swap out the olive oil for vegetable oil, salmon oil, or coconut oil. All of these are great choices for your dog’s health.
• Do not use canned peas. They have added sodium, which isn’t the best choice for your dog and their health. You can use fresh or frozen.
• If you boiled chicken with bones in it, be careful to ensure that no bones or pieces of bone end up in the final product.
• An easy way to shred chicken is use a hand mixer on low.
