No matter where your dog lives, if you're looking to make sure you're giving them as healthy of a diet as you can, then I've got a recipe for you! I've been making this homemade dog food for years and it's a good enough quality that it could just be "people food", it closely resembles the inside of chicken pot pie! But I use it to supplement and give it WITH their bagged, store bought dog food to give them added carbs and protein! They love me for it and it only costs me about $6 per week, sometimes cheaper if you can catch chicken on sale! So let's get to the recipe!
If you don't have an Instant Pot yet but have been thinking about getting one you can find it on Amazon right here --> https://amzn.to/2CYLhl0
INGREDIENTS:
4 chicken leg quarters
1 lb of rice (preferably wheat, unrefined)
6-8 cups of water
1 tsp of Avocado oil (this oil isn't cheap but it's a super clean, healthy fat and worth the cost! You can find it on amazon here: https://amzn.to/2CY7TBY )
1 tsp of salt; I use pink Himalayan salt, you can find it on amazon here: https://amzn.to/2PMaxgT
2 tsp of black pepper
2 tsp of garlic powder
1-3 cans of any canned veggie you can find on sale that your dog will eat
COOK TIME: About 2 hours.
INSTRUCTIONS:
-Put your chicken leg quarters in an Instantpot, add salt, pepper, garlic powder, the rice and then cover with water until the chicken is almost covered but not entirely. Put the instant pot on the "meat/stew" setting for 90 minutes. Change the valve to seal the pressure. This will cook your chicken and rice both perfectly.
-When the timer goes off turn the valve to release the pressure and wait 5 minutes. After the 5 minutes open the Instant pot and your rice should be perfect, your chicken cooked and falling off the bone and a tiny bit of liquid left in the pot.
-Pull out your chicken pieces and put onto a plate so you can remove all the bones. I save all the bones and put them in a small pot to simmer on the stove in water for an hour or two to make homemade chicken broth, or you can just discard them.
-Put your chicken back into the instant pot, add your canned veggies (strained) and then add water up to the 10 cup line on the Instant pot and put the lid back on. Put it on the "meat/stew" setting again but just for 20 minutes and turn the valve back to seal it.
-When the timer goes off this time, change the valve to open it and wait another 5 minutes. Then your recipe is complete! I store this is an airtight container in the fridge up to 7-10 days and serve about 1 cup at a time mixed into my dog's food bowls once a day.
