Prep Time 5 minutes mins

Cook Time 20 minutes mins

Servings 32 servings

Equipment

• 1 Saucepan
• 1 Blender or food processor

Ingredients

  

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 lb lean ground chicken
• ½ cup veggies (see note)
• 3 cups Swanson 100% Natural Unsalted Chicken Stock (or water)
• 2 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions

 

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
• Add ground chicken and roughly break up with a wooden spoon. Allow chicken to brown for 2-3 minutes. Then break it up more as it continues to cook until no longer pink, about 3 minutes. Note: The softer the chicken is, the smoother your final gravy will be after pureeing.
• Add veggies and stock to pan. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for about 10 minutes or until the veggies are very tender.
• Scoop about ½ cup of the liquid from the pan and pour it into a small bowl.
• Add cornstarch and mix together until smooth. Slowly add cornstarch slurry to the pan, stirring constantly. Once the slurry is incorporated, remove the pan from the heat. Optionally, you may simmer on low for another 10-20 minutes to reduce and thicken further. Allow it to cool for 10-20 minutes.
• Serve ¼ cup as-is over dry dog food or puree in a high quality food processor or blender until smooth before serving.

Notes

Veggies Note

To keep things simple, choose whichever veggies you have on hand. Dogs especially love carrots, green beans, sweet potatoes, peas and pumpkin. Veggies can be fresh or frozen when added to the pot.

Stock Note

If you want to use stock to add more flavor, be sure to choose one that is low in sodium and does not have any toxic ingredients for dogs like onion or garlic. Swanson 100% Natural Unsalted Chicken Stock is a great option. Or make your own stock!

Puree Note

In order to get a smooth gravy, ensure that all ingredients are thoroughly cooked and soft. Then use a high quality blender or food processor with very sharp blades to puree to your preferred smoothness. 

Storage Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Optionally, freeze gravy in an ice cube tray for easy serving sizes. Thaw cubes in the refrigerator before use or use your microwave’s defrost feature. Warm gravy for 30-45 seconds in the microwave before serving over dry food. Be sure gravy is not too hot!
