Ingredients

  • 2 cups brown rice
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 cup carrots, chopped
  • 1 cup peas, frozen or fresh
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup spinach, chopped (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric (optional, for inflammation)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Rice: In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the brown rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 45 minutes until the rice is tender.
  2. Brown the Chicken: In a separate skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Mix Ingredients: Add the chopped carrots and peas to the chicken, cooking for an additional 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  4. Combine: Stir the chicken mixture into the cooked rice. If using spinach and turmeric, add them in at this stage and mix well.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the mixture to cool before serving it to your dog. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
