👩🍳 Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
Finely chop or pulse cooked chicken in a food processor for small, even pieces that bind easily.
Step 2: Add the Carrots
Peel and grate carrots finely so they blend into the dough and bake crisp.
Step 3: Mix the Dough
In a bowl, combine chicken, grated carrot, egg, oat flour, rolled oats, and flaxseed if using.
Add water 1 tablespoon at a time until a firm dough forms.
If too sticky → add a sprinkle of oat flour.
Step 4: Roll Out the Dough
Roll dough on a lightly floured surface to ¼ inch thickness for crunchy biscuits.
Step 5: Cut & Bake
Use cookie cutters or cut small squares/strips.
Place on parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 18–22 minutes, or until dry, crisp, and lightly golden.
Step 6: Cool Completely
Cool on a rack—biscuits continue to firm as they cool.
