Give your dog a meal made with real, nutritious foods with this simple chicken and salmon recipe. Lean chicken, canned salmon, broccoli, and leafy greens come together to provide quality protein, good fats, and fiber, contributing to a shiny coat and strong muscles.
Ingredients
- 454 g of chicken with skin (about 1 pound)
- 240 ml of water
- 70 g of chopped leafy greens (e.g., spinach, Swiss chard)
- 114 g of broccoli

- 50 g of essential nutrient mix for dogs
Whole food version (alternative to the nutrient mix):
- 50 g of chicken liver
- 24 g of chopped sunflower seeds
- 5 g of nutritional yeast flakes

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175 degrees.
- Place the chicken in a baking dish with the water, cover, and cook for about 20 minutes, until fully cooked. If using the whole food version, add the chicken liver along with the chicken.
- Meanwhile, steam the broccoli and leafy greens until soft.
- Let the chicken cool, then cut it into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken, cooked vegetables, canned salmon, and nutrient mix (or finely chopped whole food ingredients).
