Roast chicken, caramelised parsnip and carrot, sweet potato mash, green beans, and a glossy bone broth gravy. A proper, regal Sunday dinner — made entirely for your dog.
Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F). Toss parsnip and carrot chunks in olive oil and spread on a baking tray in a single layer. Roast for 30–35 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and caramelised at the edges. The slight caramelisation brings out natural sweetness — dogs go absolutely wild for it.
Place chicken in a baking dish with ½ cup of bone broth. Sprinkle with a tiny pinch of dried rosemary if using. Roast in the same oven for 25–30 minutes until fully cooked with no pink remaining. Rest for 5 minutes then shred into bite-sized pieces with two forks.
While everything roasts, boil sweet potato cubes in plain unsalted water for 15 minutes until fork-tender. Drain well and mash with a splash of bone broth until smooth and creamy. No butter, no salt, no milk — the bone broth adds richness and depth on its own.
Steam or lightly boil green beans for 4–5 minutes until tender but still with a little bite. You want them cooked through but not mushy — texture matters even for dogs!
Heat the remaining 1.5 cups of bone broth in a small saucepan over medium heat. Mix arrowroot powder with 2 tablespoons of cold water to form a smooth slurry, then whisk into the warm broth. Stir continuously for 2–3 minutes until it thickens to a beautiful glossy gravy. Remove from heat.
Spoon a generous mound of sweet potato mash into your dog's bowl. Top with shredded roast chicken, roasted parsnip and carrot, and green beans. Ladle the bone broth gravy over the top, then finish with a drizzle of fish oil. Let it cool completely to room temperature before serving. Watch them lose their mind.
The bone broth gravy is what elevates this from a meal into an experience. Here's why it's so good for your dog:
Make a big batch of bone broth and freeze in ice cube trays — then you always have some ready for Sunday.
Yes, we're teaching you how to plate food for your dog. You're welcome.
Sweet potato mash — spread across the bowl like a canvas
Shredded roast chicken — piled generously in the centre
Roasted parsnip & carrot — arranged around the chicken
Green beans — a neat little bundle on the side
Bone broth gravy — ladle it over everything generously
Fish oil drizzle — one tablespoon over the top to finish
Adjust portions to your dog's daily calorie needs:
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Freeze individual portions for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge — never microwave with the gravy as it can get too hot unevenly.
Make a double batch of the bone broth gravy and freeze in ice cube trays. Each cube can be popped onto your dog's regular food as a daily topper — incredible for appetite and hydration.
This is a special occasion recipe — best served 1–2 times per week, not as your dog's sole daily meal.
Meat-based meals are naturally high in phosphorus but very low in calcium. Long-term feeding without calcium supplementation causes an imbalanced Ca:P ratio, which can weaken bones over time.
Always add ¼ tsp eggshell calcium powder per serving when feeding this recipe regularly. You can make it yourself by baking clean eggshells at 200°C for 10 minutes, then grinding to a fine powder.
