Easy And Quick Chicken Cat Food Recipe

November 1, 2016, was National Cook For Your Pets Day. If your cat is a total diva, then chances are he or she is expecting a five-course meal and their own setting at the dinner table. We cook for our kids, so it only seems fair that at least one day out of the year we cook for our cats too, right?

Before you rush to the kitchen to whip up some Cordon Bleu or Prime Rib for your furry feline friend, take in to consideration that not all food we consume is safe for our cats to eat too. Obviously, you shouldn’t serve your cat alcohol, sugar-free sweeteners can be deadly, food with high salt amounts can poison your pets, and believe it or not cats should also steer clear of citrus, grapes, and raisins.

The ASPCA has a lengthy list of foods that pets should avoid, which you should definitely check out before you hit the kitchen.

The great thing about cooking for your cats – is they are actually much less picky than your kids. Some steamed veggies mashed up with a can of sardines or tuna, with a splash of tomato sauce drizzled on top will most likely make their entire day.

If you have a lot of free time on your hands and REALLY want to spoil your cat on National Cook For Your Pets Day this year, you can try out this simple and yummy Sauteed Chicken Thighs & Veggies

Ingredients:

2 LBS Boneless Skinless Chicken Things
1 Carrot, 1 Potato, 1 Butternut Squash [you may want to choose small veggies if you are only cooking for one cat]
1 Can Sardines [Whole]
Olive Oil
Fresh Herbs [Oregano, Sage, Thyme, Etc]

Instructions:

First, you will need to peel and chop up your veggies and toss them on a cookie sheet drizzled with olive oil, bake in the oven at 350 degrees for roughly half an hour, or until they are soft enough to mash up with a fork.

Meanwhile, heat a frying pan on the stove with a few TSP of olive oil. Slice your chicken in to strips and saute like you would for yourself.

Finally, mix cooked chicken, baked veggies, and herbs in a bowl and serve! You may want to mash up the veggies a bit just to be on the safe side – some cats like to try and pick out the chicken and skip they healthy stuff. If it is all mixed well together, they are more likely to eat it all – and not just the good stuff!
