Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 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.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Food processor or blender
  • Measuring cups
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
  • Rolling Pin
  • Cookie cutters or knife
  • Cooling rack

Method
 

Step 1: Preheat the oven.
  1. Set oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
Step 2: Blend the chicken.
  1. 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.
  1. In a bowl, combine minced chicken, cooked rice, and egg. Stir until well blended.
Step 4: Add flour gradually.
  1. 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.
  1. Roll dough to about ¼-inch thickness. Cut into small biscuit shapes or squares.
Step 6: Bake until crisp.
  1. Bake for 22–26 minutes, until biscuits are firm and lightly golden.
Step 7: Cool completely.
  1. Transfer to a cooling rack. Biscuits will become crunchier as they cool.
