Simple Kibble Topper-Chicken Salad for Dogs

Yum chicken, what dog doesn't love it.  It certainly has my pups licking their lips.

 Plus chicken is nutritious and readily available.   While I was making up chicken salad for myself for my lunch time sandwiches I decided to mix up a  hound friendly version.  (With some healthy fruits thrown in)


Chicken Salad for Pups

4 boneless, skinless organic chicken fillets boiled or baked 
2 apples, diced
1/2 pint blue berries (blue berries are loaded with good for you anti-oxidants and have been shown to ward off dementia in older animals)
2 stalks of celery chopped
1/2 cup fat free plain yogurt


Tear up the chicken breasts into small bits and put in a large bowl.   Stir in apples, blueberries, and celery.  You can off course completely customize this and add whatever fruit and vegetables you have on hand: strawberries, peas, fava beans, cherries, and raspberries wold all be good choices.  After you  have added your fruit and celery to the chicken  mix in the yogurt until everything is well combined.   


Serve atop your dogs kibble for an extra nutritional boost.


Note: If your dog is sensitive to dairy just leave out the yogurt.




Chicken Salad for the Peeps  (Cause mom and dad have to eat too)

2 chicken breasts with skin and on the boan
olive oil
salt and pepper
about a 1/4 cup of Mayonaise
3 tbsp of tarragon chopped (but I really like tarragon so you may want less)
2 stalks of celery chopped
1/4 cup green grapes, halved
Mesculun or baby lettuces salad mix
whole grain bread, I like Bread Alone 

Preheat the oven to 350 and put the chicken in a baking dish.  Rub with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Roast until cooked through about 35 minutes.  Cool.   Remove and discard the skin and shred the chicken.  Refrigerate until cold.

Place the chicken in a large bowl and mix the mayo in gently with a fork.  Stir in the tarragon, celery, and green grapes.   Make sandwiches with the bread and the lettuces.
