Ingredients:
- 4 ounces of boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1/4 cup of cooked and mashed pumpkin
- 1/4 cup of cooked and mashed sweet potato
- 1/4 cup of cooked and mashed peas
- 2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon of fish oil (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon of powdered taurine (available at pet stores)
- 1/4 teaspoon of powdered cat multivitamin (available at pet stores)
- 1/2 cup of low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
Instructions:
- Begin by preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish or use a silicone baking mat.
- Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked and mashed pumpkin, sweet potato, and peas. Stir in the chopped parsley, fish oil (if using), powdered taurine, and powdered cat multivitamin. Mix well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Add the chicken pieces to the vegetable mixture and gently mix until the chicken is well coated.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Pour the low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth over the top to keep the dish moist during baking.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Ensure there are no pink or raw parts.
- Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Before serving, check the temperature to make sure it’s not too hot for your cat’s sensitive mouth. Allow it to cool to room temperature or slightly warm.
- Serve the gourmet cat dinner in your cat’s favorite dish, and watch as their eyes light up with anticipation.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Before serving again, make sure to reheat the food to an appropriate temperature, allowing it to cool before offering it to your cat.
