Chicken carrot oat crisps
Made in my kitchen
Chicken and carrot blended with oats, pressed into thin rounds, sprinkled with coconut and slowly dried.
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.
Ingredients
- Chicken breast
- Carrot
- Oats
- Desiccated coconut, for sprinkling
Exact amounts coming soon.
Steps
Cut the chicken into small pieces and put them in the blender.
Cut the carrot into small pieces and add it.
Blend until the mixture comes together.
Add the oats.
Scoop 25–30 g of the mixture.
Roll it into a ball.
Press each ball into a thin patty.
Sprinkle with desiccated coconut.
Dry at 60°C (140°F) for 15 hours, then check doneness (see below).
Doneness check: every piece should be completely dry and firm all the way through, with no soft or moist center. Break a thick piece open to check. If any are still soft, keep drying.
This is my home method. For USDA’s general guidance on drying meat, see my dehydrator notes.
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.
