Broccoli & Chicken Dog Treats

I’ve been eager to create a simple and savory dog treat recipe. These Broccoli and Chicken Dog Treats were such a hit with my dogs. I am even more excited to start creating more savory dog treat recipes!

Ingredients:
½ cup of plain cooked chicken breast, coarsely chopped and unseasoned.
½ cup of fully cooked and unseasoned brown rice
1/4 cup of steamed broccoli crowns (unseasoned)
1 chia seed egg (or 1 regular egg) See below instructions on making a chia seed egg.
2 Tbsp of brown rice flour

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Make your chia egg by combining one tablespoon of chia seeds with three tablespoons on warm water. Whisk together and allow to sit for 5-10 minutes. You will see that they will become thick and gel like.
Quickly steam your broccoli crowns in the microwave. I used a shallow dish filled with a few inches of water, added the broccoli, and cooked in the microwave uncovered for 2-3 minutes.
Combine your ½ cup of fully cooked chicken (coarsely chopped), ½ cup of fully cooked brown rice, 1/4 cup of steamed broccoli, and your chia egg in a food processor. Pulse to create a well-combined puree.
Pour mixture into a bowl and add 2 tablespoons of brown rice flour. Mix with a fork until well combined.
Fill your silicone baking molds with the treat mixture. Bake for 20-25 minutes (edges will start to brown). Remove from the oven, allow to cool completely, and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
You can also make small quarter sized patties if you don’t have treat molds.

Notes:
– Always consult with your vet before introducing new foods to your dog. Be mindful of food sensitivities and introduce new foods slowly. This recipe is simply just a healthy treat for your dog and not meant to replace a full balanced meal.
– Oven times may vary. Check your treats at 20 minutes, add five minutes of additional bake time until the edges begin to brown.
– I do not include how much each treat recipe will make. The quantity can vary based on how large you make your treats or the size of your silicone molds.
