We have a somewhat picky eater and have supplemented dry food with this recipe and he likes it: https://damndelicious.net/2015/04/27...made-dog-food/

It can also be cooked to the point of being pretty soft, so it might work well for your little guy! You might want to mince up the chicken more if it's not ground sufficiently and I'd maybe just simmer/cook for an extended amount of time beyond what the recipe calls for to make it very soft.

Also, for a second opinion on feeding your pup a homemade diet, I would definitely check out Dr. Pitcairn's Complete Guide to Natural Health for Dogs & Cats. I agree you have to be careful to provide a balanced diet, but I would absolutely question your vet dismissing homemade food out of hand like that. Dr. Pitcairn's book provides a lot of ideas and info for balanced, whole food diets for dogs and he's a trusted source (in my opinion).
