Description
Simple recipe for making nutritious, small energy kibbles using chicken and quinoa for pets.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cooked, shredded chicken breast
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 1/2 cup finely ground rolled oats
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cooked quinoa, ground oats, egg, and melted coconut oil.
- Mix all ingredients thoroughly until a uniform dough forms.
- Roll the mixture out onto a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Use a small cookie cutter or knife to cut the dough into small, bite-sized kibble shapes.
- Place the cut pieces onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the kibbles are firm and lightly golden brown.
- Turn off the oven and allow the kibbles to cool completely inside the oven with the door slightly ajar for extra crispness.
- Store cooled kibbles in an airtight container.
Notes
- For smaller pets, you can use a piping bag to create very small, uniform pieces before baking.
- If you prefer a crunchier texture, bake for an additional 5 minutes.
- These kibbles are best stored in the refrigerator for up to one week or frozen for up to two months.
