Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken thigh meat (boneless, skinless), diced
• 3 oz chicken liver, finely chopped
• 2 whole eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 cup water (for cooking)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 cup cooked pumpkin puree (plain, not pie filling)
• 2 tbsp bone meal powder
• 1/4 tsp iodized salt
• 1/2 tsp taurine powder
• 1/4 tsp vitamin E (dry powder form)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Bring 1 cup of water to a simmer in a medium pot over medium heat.
2. Add the diced chicken thigh meat and cook for 12-15 minutes until fully cooked through, stirring occasionally.
3. Add the chopped chicken liver and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until no longer pink inside.
4. Remove from heat and let the meat mixture cool for 10 minutes.
5. Once cooled, stir in the beaten eggs and return to low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly to create a soft scrambled texture.
6. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
7. Mix in the olive oil, pumpkin puree, and all supplement powders until thoroughly combined.
8. Use a food processor or blender to puree the mixture to a consistency appropriate for kittens (slightly chunky to smooth depending on age).
9. Portion into daily servings and store appropriately.
