Recipe Info

These treats have only three ingredients in them. They don’t really take any time at all to make. And your cat is going to love them. Although, they may never give you the satisfaction of showing you how much they adore them. Cats don’t usually wear their emotions on their sleeve. It’s their MO, for sure. Regardless of whether or not your cat shows a proper level of appreciation, it’s good to have a few treats on hand. They can secretly love you for it, and you can pretend you don’t know that’s how they feel.

Ingredients:
5 oz can of chicken, with juice
1/3 c yellow corn meal
1 egg

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350F. Place the chicken (and juice) in a small mixing bowl. Use your hands to break it apart well. Really massage it, the idea is to turn it to mush. Add the corn meal and egg. Mix together well. Line a cast iron skillet or a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the treat mixture over the paper to about 1/4″ thickness. Use a knife to score the treats. Bake for 4 minutes. Remove from the oven, and cut the treats through at the score marks. Bake for 2-4 minutes, do not let them brown. Remove from the oven, and slide the parchment paper off the pan onto a cooling rack. Allow the treats to cool completely. Remove them from the paper, make sure your cat gets a few fresh from the oven, and then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If there are still treats left after 5-7 days, lay them out on a parchment lined pan and freeze them. You can then put them in an airtight freezer container and keep them frozen without having them freeze into a big clump. Thaw them before giving them to your cat.
