Description
A recipe for making dry dog food kibble at home using chicken and peas for added fiber.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cooked, shredded chicken breast
- 1 cup cooked green peas
- 1/2 cup oat flour
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup water (or as needed)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cooked peas, oat flour, ground flaxseed, and melted coconut oil. Mix well.
- Add the egg and mix until the ingredients start to come together. Add water one tablespoon at a time until a stiff dough forms.
- Roll the dough out between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Remove the top sheet of parchment paper. Use a knife or pizza cutter to score the dough into small, kibble-sized squares or shapes. Do not separate them yet.
- Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the dough is firm and starting to dry out.
- Turn off the oven, crack the door slightly, and let the kibble cool and dry inside the oven for another 1 to 2 hours to remove more moisture.
- Once completely cool and dry, break the pieces apart along the scored lines.
- Store the finished kibble in an airtight container.
Notes
- This recipe yields a low-moisture product suitable for dry storage.
- Adjust the water content to achieve a firm, workable dough consistency.
- Ensure the chicken is fully cooked before mixing.
