Instructions: How to Make Chicken & Sweet Potato Biscuits

With just a few simple steps, you’ll have a batch of biscuits that will make your dog’s day. Let’s get baking!
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to keep the biscuits from sticking.
Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the brown rice flour, shredded chicken, mashed sweet potato, chicken broth, and egg. Stir everything together until you have a thick, slightly sticky dough. If it’s too wet, add a bit more flour; if it’s too dry, add a splash more broth.
Step 3: Shape the Biscuits
Take a spoonful of dough and roll it into a small ball, then flatten it with your hands or a fork to form biscuit shapes. Place each biscuit on the baking sheet, leaving a little space between them.
Step 4: Bake
Bake the biscuits for 20-25 minutes, or until they’re firm and golden. If you want them a bit crunchier, leave them in for a few extra minutes or turn off the oven and let them sit inside as it cools.
Step 5: Cool and Serve
Let the biscuits cool completely before giving one to your dog. Get ready for some enthusiastic tail-wagging!

FAQs
Q: Can I use a different flour?
Yes! Rice flour, oat flour, or even coconut flour can work if your dog has sensitivities to certain grains. Just adjust the liquid if the dough seems too wet or dry.
Q: Can I swap out the chicken for another protein?
Absolutely! Ground turkey or lean beef both work well as substitutes and provide similar protein benefits.
Q: How many biscuits can I give my dog per day?
It depends on your dog’s size and activity level, but generally, one or two biscuits is fine for larger dogs, while smaller dogs might just need half a biscuit.
Q: Can I add any other ingredients?
Sure! A sprinkle of parsley (for fresh breath) or a dash of turmeric (for anti-inflammatory benefits) can be a nice addition. Just keep it light!
Q: Are these biscuits safe for puppies?
Yes, just break them into smaller pieces or give in moderation to avoid overloading on treats. Puppies can enjoy them, but introduce any new treats slowly.
Q: How can I make these biscuits crunchier?
If your dog prefers a crunchy texture, bake the biscuits a bit longer, or leave them in the oven as it cools for extra drying time.
Q: What if my dog has a chicken allergy?
No problem! Substitute the chicken with cooked ground turkey or beef, or even a bit of salmon for a totally different flavor.
