Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 1 cup brown rice
- 2 medium carrots
- 1 cup green beans
- 1 large sweet potato
- 2 cups unsalted chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rinse the brown rice under cold running water to remove excess starch.
Peel the sweet potato and carrots, then chop them into small, dog-friendly bite-sized pieces.
Trim the green beans and chop them into smaller pieces as well.
In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat, then add the chicken breasts. Cook each side for about 3 minutes until lightly seared, but not fully cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside to cool.
In a casserole dish, combine the brown rice, chopped sweet potato, carrots, and green beans.
Dice the cooled chicken breasts into small pieces and add them to the casserole dish.
Pour the unsalted chicken broth over the ingredients in the casserole dish, ensuring the rice is fully submerged.
Cover the casserole dish tightly with aluminum foil to trap the steam and prevent the rice from drying out.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and has absorbed the broth, and the vegetables are tender.
Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature before serving to your dog.
Portion out a serving size appropriate for your dog's weight and store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
