Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, shredded cheese, and applesauce. Mix well until all the ingredients are incorporated.
- Add the egg and olive oil to the mixture, stirring until smooth.
- Gradually add the whole wheat flour and oat flour, stirring to form a dough. If desired, mix in the dried parsley for added flavor.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick.
- Use cookie cutters to cut out fun shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the treats are golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely before serving to your pup.
Notes
Storage & Reheating:
Store these treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. For longer storage, keep them in the fridge for up to two weeks. Remember, these are occasional treats, not a complete diet. Introduce new treats gradually and consult your veterinarian if your dog has health conditions, allergies, or is on a special diet. Variations:
- Substitute shredded chicken with cooked turkey for a different flavor.
- Use different cheese types such as feta or cottage cheese for varied taste.
- Incorporate mashed sweet potato instead of applesauce for a sweeter treat.
