Chicken and Veggies Dog Food Recipe
A hearty, wholesome blend of tender chicken and vibrant veggies, packed with nutrients and tail-wagging flavor!
Equipment
- 1 Insta Pot A Large stock pot would also do
Ingredients
- 393 gms Chicken breast meat – whole or chunks - raw
- 188 gms Chicken - liver, all classes, raw
- ¾ tsp Coconut Oil
- 0.06 Tsp Nordic Naturals Omega-3 Pet Liquid
- 1654 gms Sweet potato – cubes - raw
- 87 gms Cranberry sauce- canned, unsweetened
- 250 gms Blueberries raw
- 128 gms Broccoli – chopped with stalks - raw
- 117 gms grated Carrots raw
- 227 gms chopped Celery raw
- 154 gms Spinach raw
- 226 gms sliced Squash summer, zucchini, includes skin, raw
Instructions
- Prep your meat and veggies by cutting them in chunks of desired size
- In an Instant Pot, add the chicken and sweet potatoes together
- Use the sauté function to brown your meat and sweet potatoes on all sides before adding minimal oil or no oil at all
- Once half your desired texture is reached, add the remaining veggies except spinach and cook them minimally
- Add your desired amount of water (3/4 – 1 cup) and let it all cook together
- Once the meat and veggies have softened further, add the spinach and cranberry sauce and let it cook for a couple of more minutes
- Optional – Use a masher to mash the cooked veggies and meat a little. Mashed sweet potatoes bring out an extra flavor
- Once cooked, add the coconut oil and mix it all together
- Add the blueberries and Nordic Naturals Omega-3 Pet Liquid fresh when serving
Notes
- I typically like to cook and mash the sweet potatoes separately and add them in at a later stage. However, since this is a One-pot recipe, I have suggested adding it all in together.
- My dog can live without drinking water for days at end! So, I choose to add a lot of water in her meals while cooking. This way, her meals are moisture rich.
- Chop the chicken into tiny chunks if your dog is a gobbler (just like mine).
- Add the spinach towards the end as it retains most of its nutrients if it is not over cooked.
- Coconut oil is best added at the end of cooking rather than at the beginning because it preserves nutrients and prevents oxidation
