Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into small cubes
- ½ cup brown rice (see notes if your dog has an upset stomach)
- 1 cup unsalted chicken broth (can substitute water)
- 1 Tbsp chopped parsley (I recommend curly parsley)
- ⅓ cup shredded carrots
- ⅓ cup frozen peas, thawed
Instructions
- Add olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add cubed chicken.
- Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is just cooked through.
- Stir chicken stock, rice, and parsley into the skillet.
- Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Cover skillet and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until rice is cooked and tender.
- Stir in chopped carrots and peas until warmed through.
Notes
- If you're feeding your dog chicken and rice as part of a bland diet due to an upset stomach, use white rice instead of brown and omit the veggies. I recommend boiling the chicken breasts instead of sautéing them if your dog is ill. Simply, put chicken breasts in a saucepan and cover with enough chicken broth or water (or a mixture) to cover. Cook for 12-15 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and has an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Remove and cube or shred chicken. You can reuse chicken broth/water for rice if you want. Once rice is cooked, mix together with cubed/shredded chicken.
- This chicken and rice for dogs should keep fresh in your fridge for about 5 days. You can also freeze in individual portions and thaw overnight in the fridge before using.
