What do you need

1 Place 3 skinless chicken fillets in a medium saucepan. Arrange the fillets so that the pieces are in one layer. If you don't have a saucepan with a wide enough bottom, you can use a deep skillet with a lid.

Frozen chicken must first be completely defrosted. Frozen meat takes longer to cook and cooks unevenly. If you have frozen chicken fillets, thaw them before cooking.

2 Pour enough water into a saucepan to lightly coat the chicken fillet. Pour about 10 cm of water into a saucepan (or a little more so that the water completely covers the chicken fillet). Do not add too much water, or it may escape when boiling. To prevent this from happening, the water level must be at least 5 cm below the edge of the pot.

Do not add any seasonings or spices - this can cause stomach upset in your dog. The chicken must be bland. Once cooked, it can be mixed with other foods.

3 Cover the pot and cook the chicken for 12 minutes over high heat. After boiling water, cook the chicken fillet for about 2 minutes.

After 12 minutes, remove one piece of fillet from the pan and cut it open to make sure the chicken is cooked properly. If the core of the chicken is bright pink and tender, return the piece to the pot and continue to cook the chicken for another 1-2 minutes.

4 Place the cooked chicken fillet on a plate and divide into small pieces. You can chop the chicken with a knife and fork or two forks. The chunks should be small enough to prevent your dog from choking.

Consider the size of the dog when slicing the chicken. Small dogs need to cut the chicken into smaller pieces than large breed dogs.

5 Wait 10-15 minutes for the meat to cool. Let the chicken cool. It should be slightly warm to the touch. When the chicken is cool enough, you can treat your pet to pure chicken or mix the boiled fillet with other foods.

To cool the chicken faster, you can put it in the refrigerator for 5 minutes.

6 Cooked chicken can be kept in the refrigerator in a sealed container for 3-4 days. If you have any cooked chicken left over, place it in a glass jar or plastic container with a tight-fitting lid. The meat can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, and during this time you will have time to fully feed it to your dog.

Alternatively, boiled chicken can be placed in a covered container and frozen. Chicken can be stored in the freezer for 2 to 6 months. If your dog has an upset stomach, simply take out the frozen cooked chicken, defrost it from the freezer to the refrigerator, and give it to the dog.

Part 2 of 2: How to feed your dog boiled chicken

1 Boiled chicken can be fed to your dog as a treat. You can use the boiled fillet slices as a reward during training, or simply treat them to your dog occasionally. However, try not to overfeed your dog with chicken.
- If you are using meat as a reward during training, feed your dog small pieces of chicken if they have followed the command correctly.
- If you just want to pamper your pet with a piece of chicken, the size of the pieces should be appropriate for the size of the dog and the amount of food it receives during its normal meal. The portion of cooked chicken that the dog will receive as a treat should be significantly less than its normal portion of food.
2 Mix cooked chicken pieces with dog food for a delicious treat. Your dog will love the smell of chicken and will also have more protein in the food. The main thing is not to overfeed the dog. If you decide to add chicken to your feed, the feed needs to be reduced.
- The amount of food you give your dog is calculated based on the dog's weight and daily amount of exercise.
- Mix feed with chicken in a 2: 1 or 3: 1 ratio. For example, if you usually feed your dog a glass of food (220 g) for lunch, reduce the amount to 2/3 cup (150 g) and add 1/3 cup of chopped boiled chicken (40 g) to it. You can add 1/4 cup (30 g) chicken fillet to 3/4 cup (170 g) dog food.
3 If your dog has an upset stomach, mix chopped boiled chicken with boiled rice. Cook 1 cup (180 g) white rice the way you normally cook it: in a saucepan or rice cooker. Then, stir in some chopped boiled chicken and rice. Cool food down before feeding your dog.
- Mix rice and chicken in a 2: 1 or 3: 1 ratio. Combine 2 cups (400 g) cooked rice and 1 cup (125 g) cooked chicken, or 3 cups (600 g) cooked rice and 1 cup (125 g) chicken fillet.
- To make the rice tastier, boil it in the broth left over from the chicken. Do not use store-bought broth - it may contain ingredients that are harmful to dogs, such as onions.
- Instead of white rice, you can use brown rice - this will make the dish more useful. However, keep in mind that brown rice is harder to digest than white rice. If your dog has a sensitive stomach or has indigestion, only give him white rice.
4 Add pumpkin or yogurt to the chicken and rice. A little boiled pumpkin or low-fat yogurt without additives will help improve your dog's digestion. Pumpkin is rich in fiber, and yogurt is a natural probiotic that is very healthy for the stomach. Adding both products will make the dish more juicy and appetizing.
- To 1/2 cup (100 g) cooked rice and 1/4 cup (30 g) boiled chicken, add 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 ml) yogurt or 1/4 cup (55 g) boiled pumpkin. Mix all the ingredients and feed the dog as needed.
5 Feed your dog boiled chicken 1-2 times a week. If your dog does not suffer from digestive problems, try to feed him chicken no more than twice a week. Otherwise, the dog will get used to the chicken and become reluctant to eat regular food.
- If your dog has a digestive disorder, boiled chicken can be given for up to 3 days in a row to help keep the stomach working. If that doesn't work, see your veterinarian.

Warnings

Before giving the boiled chicken to the dog, the dish must be properly cooled. Otherwise, the dog, having pounced on the treat, will burn the mucous membrane of the mouth and tongue.
