Have you ever had leftover chicken and didn't know what to do with it? If so, we've got you covered with this easy 4-ingredient chicken dog treat recipe. These treats are a spin on the classic comfort food chicken and biscuits. They're the perfect way to use up leftover chicken that might otherwise go to waste.

Chicken is a great source of protein for your dog, and cooked chicken can even be added to your dog's regular meal. When feeding your dog any type of chicken, make sure the chicken is plain (unseasoned), boneless, and has no additives like onions or garlic (which are toxic to dogs).

Since these chicken dog treats only have 4 ingredients, they're quick and easy to make. They also store wonderfully in the freezer for weeks. Sound good? Here's how to make chicken dog treats.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups chopped, cooked chicken
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour or white whole wheat flour
  • 1 (5.3-ounce) container nonfat plain Greek yogurt
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients, stirring until thoroughly incorporated. The batter should be thick and sticky.
  3. Drop batter by tablespoons onto parchment-lined baking sheets. These biscuits spread very little during baking, so you should crowd them together more than typical cookies.
  4. Using the back of a spoon, flatten the dog treats slightly.
  5. Bake for 12-14 minutes until lightly golden brown.
  6. Cool completely on wire racks. Store in refrigerator or (for longer storage) in zippered freezer bags in freezer (thaw before serving).
