Chicken Hearts with brown rice and gentle vegetables — a balanced midday bowl.
Lunch· 42 min total· 5 ingredients
Ingredients
- 90 g cleaned chicken hearts
- 90 g brown rice (dry weight)
- 60 g mixed carrot and cauliflower
- fresh parsley
- Fresh water for cooking
Portion & storage
These amounts make roughly one day of food for a ~10 kg adult dog, split across the day. As a rough guide feed 2–3% of body weight daily: a 3 kg dog ≈ 60–90 g, a 20 kg dog ≈ 300–450 g, a 30 kg dog ≈ 450–650 g. Puppies, working, pregnant or underweight dogs need more; seniors and low-activity dogs need less. Introduce any new recipe over 5–7 days, mixed into the current food. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight box and use within 2 days; serve at room temperature.
Method
- 1
Rinse 90 g brown rice and simmer in 250 ml water for about 25 minutes until soft; set aside to cool.
- 2
Simmer the chicken hearts in water for 15 minutes until tender, then chop small.
- 3
Steam 60 g total of chopped carrot and cauliflower for 6–9 minutes until just tender.
- 4
Let everything cool to room temperature, then fold the chicken hearts, brown rice and vegetables together.
- 5
Finish with a pinch of chopped fresh parsley to freshen breath.
- 6
Serve at room temperature. Store any extra in the fridge and use within 2 days.

These are recipe ideas, not a complete daily diet plan. Every dog has different nutritional needs based on age, size, weight, breed and overall health. Use these to add variety and inspiration — introduce anything new slowly over 5–7 days, and talk to your veterinarian before making major changes, especially for puppies, seniors, pregnant dogs, or dogs with allergies or medical conditions. Never feed onion, garlic, chives, leek, grapes, raisins, chocolate, caffeine, xylitol, macadamia nuts, or cooked bones.
