Apple, Spinach & Chicken Antioxidant Skillet
A light skillet style meal with chicken, apple and spinach that offers gentle antioxidants without feeling heavy on the stomach.
Equipment
- Skillet or frying pan
- Wooden spoon
- Cutting board and knife
- Measuring tools
Food ingredients
- Skinless chicken breast finely diced
- Peeled apple finely chopped (no seeds, no core)
- Finely chopped spinach
- Cooked millet rice or oats
- Splash of low sodium chicken broth
- Olive oil or other dog safe oil
Operation steps
- Cook the diced chicken in a lightly oiled skillet until fully done and slightly browned.
- Add the chopped apple and a splash of broth, cooking until the apple pieces are soft.
- Stir in the spinach and cooked grains, letting everything warm through and absorb the broth.
- Adjust the texture with a bit more broth if needed so the meal is moist but not soupy.
- Cool to room temperature before serving and monitor your dog the first few times to confirm apple sits well with their digestion.

This skillet is perfect for nights when you only have 10 to 15 minutes, but I still like to keep portions honest, especially with naturally sweet ingredients like apple. We use the
Etekcity Digital Kitchen Scale to weigh Ethan’s finished bowl so his calories stay predictable across different recipes. If you want to split this meal for several small dogs, cooking the chicken mix in the
CAROTE 4 Cup Portion Control Pan lets you build neat, separate servings that are easy to cool, label and refrigerate for later in the week.
