Ingredients

200 g Chicken breast
75 g Canned chickpeas, pre-cooked and natural
50 g Broccoli, cooked
50 g Carrots
25 g Puffed amaranth
2 Eggs
2 tbsp Buckwheat flour (optional)

Instructions

First, rinse the chicken under cold water and put it in a pot. Let it simmer for about 20 minutes.
After 15 minutes of cooking time, add the broccoli to the chicken and let both cook together for the remaining 5 minutes.
Pour the chickpeas into a strainer and rinse them briefly under running water. Put them together with the carrot into your mixer and chop both to a uniform mass.
Fill the chickpea-carrot mixture into a large mixing bowl.
Take the cooked chicken and broccoli out of the pot and put both in the cleaned mixer. Chop the ingredients well and then add them to the chickpea-carrot mass in the mixing bowl.
Now add the puffed amaranth and the eggs. If you decide for the version with flour, also add it now. Knead all ingredients with a hand mixer to a uniform dough.
Line a baking dish with baking paper and spread the dough evenly in it.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and put the dish in for 30-45 minutes.
After the baking time, reduce the temperature to 70°C (160°F) and let the mass dry for another hour so that it is well cuttable later.
Let the baked dog biscuit block cool completely before cutting it into bite-sized pieces for your dog.
Tip: Run a knife once along the edges to the bottom of the baking dish. This will make it easier for you to remove the dog biscuit block before cutting.

Notes

These treats are packed with protein from the chicken and chickpeas, which aid in muscle development and energy levels. They also contain a variety of vegetables for added vitamins and minerals. Store these treats in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage. You can also vary the vegetables based on what you have on hand.
