A Nutritional Meal for Dogs Chicken Delight
Yoda and Casper love to eat. They can be really fussy when it comes to dog food. We have tried lots of different brands and there really is only a few types Yoda and Casper like. To be honest they would much prefer to eat the meals we eat as a family but for obvious reasons this wouldn’t be the best option for our pets.
There are lots of good foods for dogs and I’ve created a list of the Top 20 foods to give dogs.
Apples
Yeast
Broccoli
Carrots
Cottage Cheese
Eggs
Fish
Flax Seed
Rice
Barley
Green Beans
Lean Meat
Lentils
Liver
Oatmeal
popcorn
pumpkin
parsley
pineapple
Sweet potatoes
Natural Yoghurt
A few weeks ago when we were sent a Luxury Dog Bowl set from Turtle Mat, we cooked a nutritious meal for Yoda and Casper.
We named our recipe Chicken Delight because I have never seen our dogs eat a meal so fast. The Dogs loved using their new bowls and loved the meal and today I’ve decided to share the recipe.
Chicken Delight Meal for Dogs
Ingredients
2 Chicken Breasts
1 Cup of Rice
1/3 Cup of Barley
1/3 Cup of Lentils
1 Carrot
2 sticks of Celery
2 Litres of Water and Chicken Stock
1 teaspoon of mixed herbs
Instructions
Chop the celery and carrots. Place into a large pot, add the rice, barley and lentils.
Boil the kettle and mix 2 chicken stock cubes. Add the mixture to the pot.
Add the herbs and 2 chicken breasts.
Cook for 40 Minutes at a medium heat.
Take out the cooked chicken breast and shred into small pieces before adding back into the mixture.
Once the food is ready, allow to cool down and serve.
Makes 4 bowls of food.
Yoda and Casper love Chicken Delight. It is a really healthy option and a real treat full of goodness and nutrition. I’m planning on researching and creating some more delicious meals for our Dogs to help keep them healthy and give them something different on special occasions.
Do you cook for your dogs?
Do you have any special recipes?

Awwww how nice of you to cook for your dogs, I don’t not have any pets but I would cook for them too and those bowls look really nice
Thanks, they are really great and the carved wood is gorgeous! it looks very nice in the kitchen!
I know my parents-in-law found it was far more beneficial for their dogs to have raised bowls than rather putting them directly on the floor.
Hi think the raised bowl is better. It looks more comfortable anyway!
We have to be carful what we give our dog as he has food allergies. He is on a special diet. We have a raised stand for our dog, we think it’s much more comfortable for him.
oh wow. i imagine it would be tricky having a dog with allergies
my little madame is so fussy she refuses meat dog food and very fussy with a dry food much preferring chicken …. love these bowls
Thanks Emma. The bowls are fab, we really love them and even the dogs do too!
How lovely of you too cook for your dogs . I love the raised bowls, they look like they would be more comfortable for the dogs too. x
They are fab! Glad you liked them!
Yoda & Casper are so lucky to have an owner like you! My sprocker is very fussy so we’re always having to change his food but we have to be careful as he has Addison’s disease so need to watch his weight but the constant begging is so hard to ignore! I’ve made a note of your top 20 foods & angling to try introduce some fresher foods to see if that works (he’s completely rejected the 4 bags of Iams I’ve just bought, grrrr!)
Thanks Ali. These are good foods to give the dogs and im sure giving them healthy options is a great thing. Yes our dogs are so so fussy at times too.
You’ve inspired me. We had to try loads of different brands of food for our cat because she kept being sick. We eventually found something but its a limited range.
I never even thought of cooking for her! I am now going to be googling cat food recipes all day! Thank you ๐
Oh good luck. I haven’t thought of cooking for a cat either lol! I guess there are good foods out there but surely healthy home made cant be too bad if it its using good food which are good for our pets.
Omg, Angela! Your dogs are absolutely adorable! I never knew that dogs could eat so many good things that are enjoyed by people too and your recipe for the chicken meal you made then sounds perfect for doggies! I don’t have any pets but I would totally love to have a dog and I think I’d like to cook for them as well. Great post!
Thanks Nadia. The bowls are fab and the chicken meal was fab! ๐
Your dogs are so so cute, those dog bowls are for more attractive than the normal ugly plastic ones. I would never think to make home made dog food but I imagine it’s far more healthy! like humans microwave food v’s home cooked lol xx
Thanks. They are cute. I agree homemade is better if we cook it healthy and with the right foods for dogs.
I have to admit that I never cook for my pets – sometimes they do get leftovers though
We don’t always either. It was an experiment and as I’m often quite unwell and John has to manage caring and cooking, this was a one off which we may do again for their birthday or very special occasion but not regular.
Oh your doggies are just gorgeous! I bet they loved this dinner. The bowls are lovely, very stylish! Kaz x
Thanks so much. They are cute and yes the bowls are fab!
I have three cats and other than cooking them chicken and rice, ive never been this adventurous x
it was a fun project for us!
Great recipe! I would love to try this recipe and hoping that my friend will love it too. Nice bowl too. ๐ By the way, thank you for sharing, how nice of you to share this recipe.
Your welcome. ๐ I enjoyed writing this.
