I love making treats for my dogs. This one is a hit with all of them.
Dog Chicken and Cheese Biscuits
2 cups water
1 chicken leg, skin and bones removed (I've also used a boneless and skinless chicken breast fillet)
3 cups whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup shredded low-fat Cheddar Cheese
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1. Pour the water into a small pan and set the chicken in it. Bring to a boil and simmer until the chicken is fully cooked, 10 to 15 minutes. Set the cooked chicken aside; reserve 3/4 cup of the cooking liquid.
2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine the flour, cheese, oil, and egg; mix well.
3. Shred the chicken meat; str into the dough. Add the reserved cooking liquid; mix until completely combined.
4. On a floured surface, knead the dough until it is firm.
5. Roll the dough to a 1/2 inch thickness. Cut with the cookie cutter of your choice. Transfer the biscuits to a baking sheet.
6. Bake for 50 minutes. Turn off the heat; let the biscuits stand in the oven until hard, 1 to 2 hours.
