and the weather is getting cooler which means its time to start cooking up some warming soups and stews. For the hounds I made some Chicken and Rice stew in the slow cooker using a recipe from my favorite magazine, Bark. I love making stews as kibble toppers for the dogs its cheaper then quality canned food and you can use really nutritious ingredients. I particularly like making them in the slow cooker since the effort involved is nill.
Can I have some Chicken Stew please! |
Chicken and Rice Slow Cooker Stew (for Canines)
- 4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 4 sweet potatoes chopped (unpeeled)
- 7 carrots diced
- 1 bag frozen green beans, Cascadian Farms
- 2 cups brown rice
In the slow cooker layer the rice, 5 cups of water, sweet potatoes, carrots, beans and chicken. Cook according to the slow cooker setting of your choice, I cooked mine on high for 5 hours.
Ugly picture, but it tastes delicious over mashed potatoes |

- 3 tbsp veg oil
- 3 chopped yellow onions
- 2 chopped Parsnips
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and chopped

Both recipes look delicious, but I'd have to switch them! I won't eat meat on a bone and Petunia can't eat poultry.
