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)
Instructions
- In a large pot or saucepan, combine 4 cups of water and brown rice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer (medium-low to low heat) and cover.
- Cook rice for 45 minutes or until 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.
- Remove the chicken and vegetable mixture from the heat and set aside to cool.
- Once the rice is done, stir together the rice and chicken mixture.
- Let the food cool completely before serving to your dog or storing for later.
Notes
- Be sure to let the food cool completely before serving to avoid burns.

- You can add other dog-safe vegetables like sweet potatoes or peas if your dog enjoys them.
- Always consult with your veterinarian to ensure this recipe meets your dog’s dietary needs, especially if they have specific health concerns or dietary restrictions.
