I suppose you did tried with everything else, she ates nothing else at all, however you beg and try to entice??

OK, what she needs is a calcium source, and fat source, as a minimum.

Calcium, if you find calcium in powder, you can always spray some over the chicken breasts. 

I myself use shells from boiled eggs, I take away the thin shin inside, and crush the shells thoruoughly into a fine powder.   And I sprinkle said powder on their  meat....

Fat?  Perhaps try with some high quality colpressed olive oil, or  coldpressed canopy oil (rapeseed).  High quality cocos oil should also be fine.

Melted butter...

Raw egg yoult is very nourishing, contains much useful fats... If she prefer boiled egg, its OK too. If boiled and she eats the whole egg, its OK.

Goat milk, is always good and proper...

You can even try with some good kmr, kitten replacement milk.

To have some kmr or goat milk home is always wise, waiting for kittens.  So you arent defenceless if some problems raise up.

Good luck!

There are

Royal canine has a good dry food, for small kittens and moms.   I think most cats love it.  Even my picky cats liked it.

Splendid!   So use also the crushed shell into a fine powder, and you have too the calcium.    :)

Yes, she should do all right on this food.

would cat vitamins/minerals tablets be helpful in this situation?
Yes, I think its a splendid idea.  Tx for reminding me!  The problem is if it is a really picky cat who refuses practically everyting.

But if you can lure into her something - yes - excellent suggestion.  Some of the preparates are even quite high in calories (read fats), Nutrical  I think is one.

Cheese is a always a good tip if you can lure it into her...
