- Total Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients
Scale
- 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 IngredientsIn 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 MeatballsUsing 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 BrothIn 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 ServeOnce 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.
