Too much chicken is not a problem, but this diet would not be nutritionally balanced for long term feeding. If you want to continue to cook for your dogs I would recommend consulting a veterinary nutritionist to create a balanced recipe. This website has nutritionists on staff and you can create a recipe that uses their vitamin supplement: https://secure.balanceit.com
