Diced Chicken Thigh & Broccoli Bite: A Nutritious, Easy-to-Make Treat for Cats and Dogs
Ingredients
- 1 medium chicken thigh (boneless, skinless)
- 1 /4 cup broccoli florets (lightly steamed or boiled)
- 1-2 tablespoons water or low-sodium chicken broth
Instructions
- Cook the chicken thighStart by boiling the chicken thigh in a pot of water. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, or until it’s fully cooked through (no pink!). Once done, remove it from the pot and let it cool slightly.
- Prepare the broccoliWhile the chicken is cooking, steam or boil the broccoli florets for 3-5 minutes until they’re tender but not mushy. Drain any excess water and let them cool.
- Dice the chickenOnce the chicken is cool enough to handle, dice it into small, bite-sized pieces. For cats, aim for tiny pieces; for dogs, you can go slightly larger.
- Chop the broccoliChop the steamed broccoli into small pieces. Cats especially appreciate smaller chunks that are easier to eat.
- Mix it all togetherIn a bowl, combine the diced chicken and chopped broccoli. Add water or chicken broth for a moist, easy-to-eat texture. Mix it well so the flavors come together.
- Cool and serveLet the mixture cool to room temperature before serving. Your pet will thank you for taking the time to get it just right.
