Description
Simple recipe for making small, crunchy dog kibble at home using chicken and carrots.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cooked, shredded chicken breast
- 1/2 cup finely grated raw carrot
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup oat flour
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, grated carrot, and water. Mix well.
- Add the whole wheat flour, oat flour, and egg to the chicken mixture. Mix until a stiff dough forms.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out thinly, about 1/8 inch thick.
- Use a small cookie cutter or knife to cut the dough into very small, bite-sized pieces (mini kibble size).
- Place the pieces on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the kibbles are hard and completely dry.
- Turn off the oven and leave the kibbles inside with the door slightly ajar for another 30 minutes to cool and crisp up fully.
- Store cooled kibbles in an airtight container.
Notes
- You can substitute cooked ground turkey for chicken.
- Ensure the kibbles are completely dry before storing to prevent mold.
- Adjust baking time based on your oven; check for hardness.
