Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups brown rice

- 2 cups spinach, chopped
- 1 large carrot, shredded (about 1 cup)

Instructions
- In a large pot or saucepan, combine 4 cups of water and brown rice. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer (medium-low to low heat) and cover.

- While the rice is cooking, cook the ground chicken in a large skillet over medium-high heat until no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.

- Once the rice is finished cooking, stir together the rice and ground chicken mixture.
- Let the mixture cool completely before serving to your dog or storing for later.
