Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil
  • 1 pound Ground Chicken
  • ¼ cup Chopped Carrots
  • ¼ cup Frozen Green Peas
  • 3 cups Chicken Stock without onions, garlic, or salt
  • 2 tablespoons Cornstarch or Arrowroot Powder
  • ½ cup Cold Water

Instructions

  1. Heat the Coconut Oil: Melt coconut oil in a skillet over medium-high heat to create a non-stick base for cooking the meat.
  2. Cook the Ground Chicken: Add ground chicken to the skillet and stir frequently, breaking up the meat until it browns evenly and becomes crumbly, ensuring thorough cooking.
  3. Add Vegetables and Stock: Pour in the chicken stock along with chopped carrots and frozen peas. Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer gently for 10 minutes to blend the flavors and soften the vegetables.
  4. Set Aside Some Meat and Veggies for Chunky Gravy: If you prefer a chunkier gravy texture, remove about a cup of the meat and vegetable mixture from the skillet and set aside for later.
  5. Prepare the Thickening Slurry: In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch or arrowroot powder with cold water to create a smooth slurry without lumps.
  6. Thicken the Gravy: Slowly drizzle the slurry into the simmering gravy while stirring continuously to avoid clumping and to achieve a smooth, thick consistency.
  7. Cool the Gravy: Take the skillet off the heat and allow the gravy to cool down to room temperature to avoid overheating your dog’s food.
  8. Blend the Gravy: Transfer the cooled mixture into a food processor or blender and puree until completely smooth and creamy, which helps digestion and palatability.
  9. Combine and Serve: Stir in the reserved chunky meat and vegetables back into the smooth gravy, then serve it over your dog’s regular food for an extra boost of flavor and nutrition.

Notes

  • Ensure chicken stock is free from onions, garlic, and added salt to keep the gravy safe for dogs.
  • Use arrowroot powder for dogs sensitive to corn or with allergies.
  • Let the gravy cool completely before serving to prevent burns.
  • This gravy can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Always consult your veterinarian before introducing new foods to your dog’s diet, especially if your pet has allergies or health issues.
