Chicken with Broccoli, Carrots, Kale, and Butternut Squash
Recipe by: Candace
Ingredients:
3Lbs Ground Chicken
3 C Butternut Squash
1 1/4 C Broccoli
1/2 LB Carrots
1 1/4 C Kale
1 C Chicken Bone Broth
2 Tbsp Coconut Oil
6 Eggs
Directions:
Peel and dice the Butternut Squash into small bite size pieces.
Cut the Broccoli into small pieces.
In a pot boil the Butternut Squash until fork tender.
Remove the Butternut Squash from the pot then boil the Broccoli and carrots until soft.
Remove the Broccoli and Carrots. I use a mesh strainer with a handle to remove the veggies. That way I can reuse the already hot water.
Cooke and strain the Kale.
Dump the water out of the pot.
In the same pot add the 1 Tbsp Coconut Oil and add all the veggies back to the pot.
Stir to distribute the coconut oil.
Set the pot to the side.
In a big soup pot cook the ground chicken.
Once the chicken is cooked add all the vegetables to the soup pot.
Scramble the eggs with the remaining 1 Tbsp of Coconut Oil.
Add the eggs to the soup pot.
Add the Chicken Bone Broth to the soup pot.
Mix everything in the soup pot until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Let cool then give your taste testers(dogs) a try.
Split the dog food into Ziploc bags and containers. I split mine into 2 16oz containers for the fridge and the rest goes into a Ziploc for the freezer.
To serve I give my dogs anywhere from 1/3 c to 2/3 c. I find that my dogs prefer their food to be warmed up versus cold right from the fridge. To do this I just microwave it for 15 to 20 seconds. Don't forget to test it to make sure it isn't too hot.
IMPORTANT - I do not just feed my dogs this. I feed them a mix of home cooked dog food and kibble. How much I feed them relies heavily on how many treats/snacks they guilt trip out of me in any given day and what snacks/treats those are. My dogs also receive vitamins daily to help balance it all out.
