Instructions
1. Prepare the Base Mixture:
• In a blender, combine the cooked chicken breast, peeled and cooked sweet potato, egg, and a small amount of water.
• Blend until the mixture reaches a thick, smooth consistency.
2. Form the Dough:
• Gradually add wheat flour to the blended mixture, mixing continuously until a dough forms.
• For an extra flavour boost, incorporate a sprinkle of Years Taste+ Cheese and Broccoli Seasoning into the dough.
3. Shape the Nuggets:
• Roll the dough into small balls and flatten them to resemble traditional chicken nuggets.
4. Bake:
• Place the shaped nuggets on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
• Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for approximately 25 minutes, or until the nuggets are golden brown.
5. Cool and Serve:
• Allow the nuggets to cool completely before serving them to your dog.
• For an added treat, serve with a side of chicken bone broth as a dipping sauce.
Nutritional Benefits
• Chicken Breast: A lean source of protein, essential for muscle maintenance and energy.
• Sweet Potato: Rich in dietary fibre, vitamins, and minerals, supporting digestive health.
• Egg: Provides additional protein and essential fatty acids.
• Wheat Flour: Acts as a binding agent; however, if your dog has a wheat sensitivity, consider using a gluten-free alternative.
Tips
• Always ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly and free from any seasoning or additives.
• Introduce new treats gradually into your dog's diet to monitor for any adverse reactions.
• Store the cooled nuggets in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
By preparing these homemade chicken nuggets, you can offer your dog a wholesome snack made with love and care. Remember, while treats are a wonderful way to bond with your pet, they should complement a balanced diet and not replace regular meals.
