Healthy Recipe of the Week- Grrrrrreat Chicken and Rice Cakes with Bacon


I should have been clued in when I read the title of the recipe "Grrrrreat" Chicken and Rice Cakes but NO I got to the end before I realized this is one of Rachel Rays crazy crossover meals for pets! None the less, it is healthy and EVERYONE at my house loved it. Try it out, I promise you won't bark after biting.




Ingredients

* 1 cup chicken broth
* 1/2 cup rice
* 4 slices turkey bacon
* 2 large eggs, beaten
* 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
* Salt and pepper
* 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
* Sour cream (people's portions only)
* Salsa (people's portions only)


Preparation


In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil over high heat. Add the rice, lower the heat and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl and let cool.
While the rice is cooking, in a medium nonstick skillet, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until crisp, about 5 minutes; drain on paper towels. Finely chop the bacon and add to the cooled rice. Reserve the skillet.
Mix the eggs and bread crumbs into the rice mixture; season with salt and pepper. Shape into 4 equal-size patties.
In the reserved skillet, heat the EVOO, two turns of the pan, over medium heat. Add the rice cakes and cook for 4 minutes on each side. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving to your pup. Top the people's portions with sour cream and salsa.
