The optimum protein content for your pup is best decided by your vet or a veterinary nutritionist. 50/50 chicken and rice is fine for recovery, but a 10lb dog should not need 2 cups of food daily. After she recovers, the balanced diet she should go on would not be have meat (unless that is what the formulator of the recipe thought best for her - which is very questionable).

She doesn't need to eat 4x daily unless the vet thinks so. She should gain a lot of weight very quickly with this amount of food which wouldn't be good.

You can buy a recipe from petdiets.com (the adult maintenance chicken should be fine). It will require a supplement called BalanceIt that you can get form balanceit.com. However, I don't know if they ship overseas.
