Description
Small, crunchy dog food kibbles made at home with chicken and vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cooked, shredded chicken breast
- 1/2 cup cooked sweet potato, mashed
- 1/4 cup cooked carrots, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup cooked green beans, finely chopped
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup oat flour
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mashed sweet potato, chopped carrots, and chopped green beans. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour and oat flour.
- Add the egg and water to the chicken and vegetable mixture. Stir until just combined.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a stiff dough forms. You may need to use your hands.
- 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 tiny squares or circles (mini kibble size).
- Place the cut pieces onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the kibbles are firm and crunchy.
- Turn off the oven and leave the kibbles inside with the door slightly ajar for another 30 minutes to dry out completely and become very crunchy.
- Allow the kibbles to cool completely before storing.
Notes
- Store cooled kibbles in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
- For longer storage, freeze the kibbles.
- Adjust water amount slightly if the dough is too dry or too sticky.
