- 1/2 cup sweet potatoes, diced
- 1/2 cup spinach, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups water
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken into small, bite-sized pieces.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large pot or skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until they are no longer pink in the center, about 8-10 minutes.

- Simmer: Pour in 2 cups of water, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and chicken is fully cooked.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the mix to cool before serving to your dog. Portion out the appropriate amount based on your dog’s size and dietary needs.
Notes
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze portions in freezer-safe bags or containers for up to 3 months.
- Customization: Feel free to substitute chicken with turkey or lean beef. Add brown rice or quinoa for added carbohydrates, and swap in other dog-friendly vegetables like zucchini or pumpkin.
- Serving Suggestions: This mix can be served alone or mixed with your dog’s regular kibble or plain yogurt for added flavor.
