Description

Ingredients

1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Rinse the brown rice thoroughly under cold water to remove excess starch.
In a large pot, combine the rice and water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until tender.
While the rice cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until fully cooked, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F with no pink remaining.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and shred into small, bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, add carrots, green beans, and peas. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until tender.
Stir the shredded chicken and cooked rice into the vegetables.
Add pumpkin puree and mix until everything is evenly combined.
Allow the mixture to cool completely before serving.

Notes

You can substitute white rice for brown rice for easier digestion.

Lean ground turkey can replace chicken for protein variety.

Add finely chopped spinach or zucchini for extra nutrients.

A splash of low-sodium chicken broth can be added for softer texture.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Freeze in portioned containers for up to 2 months.

Reheat gently and cool completely before serving.

Consult a veterinarian for long-term nutritional balance and supplement recommendations.
