Ingredients
- 1 lb of ground chicken
- 1/2 cup of chicken livers, chopped
- 1 cup of rice
- 2 cups of bone broth, make sure it's dog-safe, with no onions or excessive salt
- 1/2 cup of carrot(s) finely chopped
Instructions
Combine Ingredients In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, uncooked brown rice, and chopped chicken livers. Add the optional vegetables if desired.
Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Form Meatballs Using your hands, form the mixture into small, bite-sized meatballs, about 2 inches in diameter. This size will ensure they cook evenly.
Simmer in Bone Broth In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the bone broth over medium heat until it starts to simmer.
Carefully place the meatballs into the simmering broth. Make sure they are in a single layer and not overcrowded.
Reduce the heat to low and let the meatballs simmer. Cover the pot and cook for about 25-30 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the rice is tender. You may need to occasionally stir gently to prevent sticking.
Cool and Serve Once the meatballs are fully cooked, remove the pot from heat and allow them to cool.
Serve the meatballs to your dog in appropriate portions according to their size and dietary needs. You can also store the meatballs in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days or freeze them for longer storage.
Notes
Always introduce new foods to your dog's diet gradually and in moderation to monitor for any adverse reactions.
