Description
Simple, easily digestible kibble recipe using chicken and rice for sensitive stomachs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cooked, shredded chicken breast (no skin or bones)
- 1 cup cooked white rice
- 1/4 cup plain cooked carrots, mashed
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1/4 cup water or low-sodium chicken broth
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cooked rice, mashed carrots, coconut oil, and water or broth. Mix until everything is evenly incorporated. The mixture should be moist but hold its shape when pressed.
- Place the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Press the mixture down firmly and evenly to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- Cut the mixture into small, bite-sized squares or use a small cookie cutter to shape the kibbles.
- Return the cut pieces to the oven and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are dry and firm.
- Turn off the oven and leave the kibbles inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to dry out completely.
- Store cooled kibbles in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Ensure the chicken is fully cooked and unseasoned before use.
- You can substitute white rice with cooked oatmeal if preferred.
- This recipe makes small, soft kibbles suitable for gentle digestion.
