Chicken Liver & Egg Mix
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs chicken thighs, boneless and skinless, diced
- 0.5 lbs chicken liver, trimmed and diced
- 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup cooked sweet potato, mashed
- 2 tbsp sardines in water (no salt added), mashed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup water or low-sodium chicken broth
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- Add diced chicken thighs and cook for 15-18 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove and let cool slightly.
- In the same simmering water, poach the chicken liver for 8-10 minutes until cooked through. Drain and set aside.
- In a separate non-stick pan, scramble the beaten eggs over low heat without added oil or seasoning until fully cooked. Break into small pieces.
- Steam or microwave sweet potato until very soft, then mash thoroughly until no lumps remain.
- Combine all cooked ingredients in a large mixing bowl: shredded chicken thighs, diced liver, scrambled eggs, mashed sweet potato, and sardines.
- Add olive oil and broth, then mix until uniform in consistency. Use a food processor if a smoother texture is preferred.
- Portion into daily servings and store appropriately.

🧊 Safety & Storage
Refrigerate portions in airtight glass or BPA-free containers for up to 4 days. Freeze individual portions in silicone ice cube trays or small containers for up to 3 months. Thaw frozen portions overnight in the refrigerator, never at room temperature. Discard any food left out for more than 2 hours. Always wash hands and sanitize all surfaces after handling raw poultry and eggs. This recipe is not sterile; immunocompromised individuals should exercise caution.
⚠️ Recipe Drift Warning
Do not substitute chicken liver with other organ meats without adjusting quantities—liver contains significantly higher vitamin A, and substitution with kidney or heart alters the micronutrient profile substantially. Avoid replacing sardines with tuna due to mercury concerns and different fatty acid ratios. Do not use raw eggs due to avidin interference with biotin absorption and salmonella risk. Sweet potato cannot be replaced with white potato (nightshade family concerns for some cats) or pumpkin without recalculating carbohydrate content. Never add onion, garlic, chives, or any Allium species—these are toxic to cats even in small amounts.
