Homemade Chicken Dog Treats

This is the treat you make when you've got leftover chicken and a dog giving you a look that suggests you owe him something. Three ingredients, one bowl, no drama.

What You'll Need

• 1 cup cooked, shredded chicken breast (plain, no seasoning)
• 1 cup oat flour, plus more for dusting
• 1 large egg
• 2-3 tbsp unsalted chicken broth (no onion or garlic), as needed

How to Make Homemade Chicken Dog Treats

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Combine the shredded chicken, oat flour, and egg in a food processor or large bowl. Pulse or mix until it starts to come together.
3. Add chicken broth a tablespoon at a time until the dough is firm but not sticky — enough to roll without cracking.
4. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into shapes, or slice into small squares.
5. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden and firm to the touch.
6. Cool completely on a wire rack before serving — they crisp up more as they cool.

How Long Do Homemade Chicken Dog Treats Last?

Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
