Basil chicken roll
Made in my kitchen
Two chicken layers rolled together: bell pepper in the middle, basil on the outside. Steam, chill, slice.
My own recipe, from my video. I make this one at home. I’m still weighing each batch, so exact amounts, yield and calories are coming soon.
Treat only — not a complete diet. Homemade snacks do not replace a balanced commercial or veterinary diet. If your pet has a health condition, ask your vet before trying a new treat.

Exact amounts coming soon.
Steps
Trim visible fat from the chicken and cut it into small pieces.
Blend the chicken into a paste.
Dice the bell pepper.
Mix half the chicken paste with the diced pepper until even.
Mix the blanched basil with the remaining chicken.
Spread the pepper-chicken on plastic wrap as the inner filling.
Roll it into a log.
Roll it again so it wraps tighter.
Spread the basil-chicken on plastic wrap as the outer layer.
Spread the outer layer larger than the filling, then place the pepper log on it.
Slowly roll it up.
Pinch the seam closed.
Roll the wrap so it sits tighter.
Steam for 30 minutes.
After steaming, refrigerate for 3 hours or freeze for 1 hour to set.
Slice.
Only use plastic wrap that is labeled safe for steaming or cooking. If you are not sure, use parchment paper.
Calories: coming soon. I haven’t weighed a finished batch yet, so there is no per-piece number here.
Once you know the calories in one piece, use the Custom option in the dog calorie calculator and keep treats near 10% of daily calories.
