🧰 Equipment Needed
- Mixing bowl
- Food processor or blender
- Measuring cups
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
- Rolling pin
- Cookie cutters or knife
- Cooling rack
🛒 Ingredients (dog-safe only — no toxic foods)
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, finely shredded (plain, no seasoning)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 egg
- 1½–2 cups oat flour (or rolled oats blended into flour)
- 2–4 tablespoons water or low-sodium, onion-free broth (as needed)
All ingredients are dog-safe and free from salt, garlic, onions, and spices.
👩🍳 Directions
Step 1: Preheat the oven.
Set oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Blend the chicken.
In a food processor, pulse the cooked chicken until very finely minced. This helps create a uniform dough.
Step 3: Mix wet ingredients.
In a bowl, combine minced chicken, chopped parsley, and egg. Mix well.
Step 4: Add oat flour.
Gradually add oat flour, mixing until a firm dough forms. Add water or broth a tablespoon at a time if the dough feels dry.
Step 5: Roll and cut.
Roll dough to about ¼-inch thickness. Cut into small biscuit shapes or squares.
Step 6: Bake.
Bake for 22–26 minutes, or until biscuits are firm and lightly golden.
Step 7: Cool completely.
Transfer to a cooling rack and allow biscuits to cool fully—they’ll crisp up as they cool.
