I agree with above post! I bought this book at Boarders book store. I finally made Abby the Chicken and Rice Stew and it was a complete hit!! She gobbled it down in less than 5 min and mind you she is only 3 lbs and she left her bowl clean. I gave her some more for break fast and again the bowl was clean!!! Later on today I will make the mac and cheese and sausage recipe and see how that goes!!
Here is the recipie for the chicken and rice stew*:
Ingredients:
One 2 1/2 pound chicken legs or 4 chichen breasts
2 quarts of water divided
1 cup of rice
One 28 ounce can of diced tomatoes in juice
One 28 ounce can of chciken broth
4 potatoes
4 Carrots peels and sliced
1 cup of macaroni
One 24 ounce package frozen peas.
* Be advise that this is the original recipe and when I did it I cut all measurements in half!!!
Directions:
1. First place chicken legs in baking dish and place in a preheated 375F oven Roast for 30 minutes, then turn chicken legs and roast an additional 15 to 20 minutes. When slightly cooled, remove meat from bones and set aside. Meanwhile, add enough water to cover drippings in the baking dish ; return to oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven. Using a spoon , loosen any brown bits on the bottom or sides of pan. Reserve this liquid. (Bones may be discarded or wrapped and frozen to be cooked into chicken broth later.) This ste can be done a day ahead or early in the day. ** By the way, I used thinly sliced chicken breast - there for I had no drippings and skipped this step.
2. Bring 2 cups water to boil over high heat in a 3 quart saucepan. Add rice, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes until all water has been absorbed. Set aside.
3. MEanwhile, place tomatoes with juice, remaining cups water, and chicken broth in an 8 quart stockpot. Bring to a boil over high heat.
4. Add potatoes and carrots. Reduce heat to medium - high and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
5. Add macaroni and cook, stirring frequently for an additional 10 minutes.
6. Remove from heat and stir in peas, cooked rice, cooked chicken, and any reserved liquid. Makes 8 Quarts
I assure you that your dog will be lapping this up in no time. My picky eater didnt even flinch while eating this!!
Good cooking!!
