🐾 Why This Recipe Is Good for Dogs
These crunchy biscuits pair lean chicken protein with easy-to-digest rice, creating a simple, satisfying treat that’s gentle on the stomach and big on flavor. Chicken supports muscle health and energy, while rice provides light carbohydrates that many dogs tolerate well—especially those with sensitive digestion. Baked to a firm crunch, these biscuits are great for daily rewards, light training, or dogs who prefer a crisp bite over soft chews.
🧰 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 cup cooked white rice, cooled and slightly mashed
- 1 egg
- 1–1½ cups oat flour (or rolled oats blended into flour)
- 2–4 tablespoons water or sodium-free, onion-free broth (as needed)
All ingredients are plain, low-fat, and fully dog-safe.
👩🍳 Directions
Step 1: Preheat the oven.
Set oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
Step 2: Blend the chicken.
In a food processor, pulse the cooked chicken until very finely minced. This helps create a uniform dough and better crunch.
Step 3: Mix the base.
In a bowl, combine minced chicken, cooked rice, and egg. Stir until well blended.
Step 4: Add flour gradually.
Stir in oat flour 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 until crisp.
Bake for 22–26 minutes, until biscuits are firm and lightly golden.
Step 7: Cool completely.
Transfer to a cooling rack. Biscuits will become crunchier as they cool.
