- 150g chicken breast, diced
- 100g pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
- 50g steamed broccoli, mashed
- 1 tablespoon fish oil (salmon or sardine oil)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried kelp powder
- 1/4 teaspoon taurine powder
- 1/4 teaspoon vitamin E powder (mixed tocopherols)
- 1/8 teaspoon iodized salt

Step-by-Step Instructions
- Poach the chicken breast in simmering water for 12-15 minutes until fully cooked, then dice into small pieces.
- Sauté the chicken liver in a non-stick pan over medium heat for 5-6 minutes until cooked through, chopping finely afterward.
- Scramble the eggs in a separate pan with minimal heat until just set, avoiding any oil or butter.
- Steam the broccoli until tender and mash thoroughly to aid digestion.
- Combine all cooked ingredients in a large mixing bowl and allow to cool to room temperature.
- Stir in the pumpkin puree, fish oil, kelp powder, taurine powder, vitamin E powder, and iodized salt until evenly distributed.
- Add the chicken broth gradually to achieve a moist, pâté-like consistency.
- Portion into daily servings and store appropriately.
💊 Required Supplements
Per 500g batch: Taurine 250mg (essential for cardiac and retinal health), Fish oil providing 500mg combined EPA/DHA (omega-3 fatty acids for skin and coat), Vitamin E 10 IU (antioxidant protection for cell membranes), Kelp powder 1000mg (iodine and trace minerals for thyroid and skin health), Zinc methionine 25mg (critical for skin integrity and wound healing). These dosages are calculated for an average 10lb adult cat consuming approximately 250g of food daily.

🧊 Safety & Storage
Refrigerate portions in airtight containers for up to 3 days. Freeze individual portions in ice cube trays for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, never at room temperature. Discard any food left out for more than 2 hours. Always use fresh chicken liver and verify it is sourced from healthy animals. Do not use onion, garlic, grapes, or any known feline toxins in any variation of this recipe. Wash hands and all surfaces thoroughly after handling raw poultry and eggs.
⚠️ Recipe Drift Warning
Do not substitute beef liver for chicken liver without adjusting vitamin A intake, as beef liver contains significantly higher retinol levels which may cause hypervitaminosis A over time. Do not replace fish oil with plant-based omega sources like flaxseed oil, as cats cannot efficiently convert ALA to EPA andDHA. Avoid using raw eggs due to avidin interference with biotin absorption and salmonella risk. Do not omit taurine supplementation as deficiency causes dilated cardiomyopathy and retinal degeneration in cats.
