Chicken N Greens Recipe

Chicken 'N Greens is pretty much just like it sounds like, and is made from tasty chicken legs and chopped greens. You can use whatever veggies you want, but we prefer turnip, carrots, peas, and squash, which are completely dog-safe! Throw in some dog friendly spices and you've got a delicious dish that your dog will enjoy for days. Let's get cooking!

Chicken 'N Greens for Dogs (makes 9 cups)

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 60 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 chicken leg quarters
  • 1 large bag frozen turnip Greens, chopped
  • 7 small jars organic baby food - 3 carrots, 2 peas, 2 squash
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground egg shell
  • chicken stock

Preparation Instructions:

  1. Boil the chicken in a dutch oven or large stock pot. Remove and let cool. (Save the liquid) Once cool enough to handle, discard the skin and bones. Shred the meat.
  2. Rinse out the dutch oven and add the cooked chicken back in. Add all of the remaining ingredients except the saved chicken stock.
  3. Mix thoroughly and add just enough chicken stock to give it plenty of moisture. I didn't measure but I would say roughly a cup.
  4. Heat over low heat stirring occasionally until the turnip greens have cooked. It will have the texture of a chili rather than a soup.
  5. Let cool to room temperature and serve.

Any greens will do - turnips, kale, spinach.

This can be stored in the refrigerator for about 5 days and in the freezer for up to 4 months. I make large batches and then freeze individual 1 cup servings which equals two meals for Kirby.
