Ingredients
  

  • cups boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced (sub: ground turkey)
  • 1 cup cooked brown rice or quinoa (for extra fiber)
  • 1 cup sweet potato, peeled and cubed (sub: pumpkin puree)
  • ½ cup frozen peas (fresh peas work too)
  • 1 large carrot, grated
  • 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt (whole milk style for creaminess)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (or fish oil for extra omega-3s)
  • ¼ teaspoon turmeric (optional, for anti-inflammatory boost)
  • cups low-sodium chicken broth or water (make sure broth has no onions or garlic)

Instructions
 

  • 1. Heat the olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add diced chicken and stir until opaque, about 5 minutes. 2. Stir in grated carrot and sweet potato cubes. Cook another 4 minutes, tossing occasionally so nothing sticks. 3. Pour in the chicken broth, then add brown rice and frozen peas. Bring everything to a gentle boil. 4. Once bubbling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes—until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. 5. Turn off the heat, sprinkle the turmeric over the top, then stir in the Greek yogurt for creamy richness. 6. Let the pot rest, covered, for 5–10 minutes. This helps the flavors meld and makes scooping easier. 7. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool to room temperature before serving. (Hot food can irritate your dog’s tummy).

Notes

Tips on choosing ingredients: pick organic chicken if you can; sweet potatoes should be firm with smooth skin; brown rice yields a firmer texture, while quinoa adds a nutty aroma. Adjust water amounts if you like a looser consistency—some pups prefer soupy meals. If your dog has a sensitive stomach, skip the turmeric first, then reintroduce gradually.
