Chicken and Sweet Potato Dog Chews

To grab a treat or two from the store for your little friend is getting to be quite expensive. This doesn’t need to be the case, as many of these treats can be quickly and easily made at home. Usually, all you need is a couple of ingredients and then some time to create a delicious masterpiece that your dog is sure to enjoy.

Treats for Dogs

Treats, such as these, or these Rockmelon and Yoghurt Treats, these Peanut Butter Banana Chips, these Chicken Treats, or these Vegetable Dog Biscuits, should only be given to your dog in moderation. In fact, treats should not make up more than 10% of your dog’s diet.

Chicken Broth for Dogs

Chicken broth is safe for dogs, just make sure to purchase one that is organic, non-GMO and has low sodium.

Onion and garlic are not good for dogs, so try to choose one that does not contain these ingredients. You will find that most pet stores do sell a chicken broth for dogs.

A beef broth that is safe for dogs could also be used instead of the chicken broth.

Ingredients To Make these Treats

To make these treats, you will need:

• 1 Large sweet potato
• 1 Cup Chicken broth (a brand that is safe for dogs)

Wash and slice the sweet potato into slices that are no thinner than ¼ inch.

Using a mandoline slicer will help to keep them evenly sliced and thin.

Place the sweet potato slices in a bowl and pour the broth over.

Soak the sweet potato in the broth for at least three hours, or overnight. You may like to mix the slices around, making sure that everything is soaking in the broth.

Cook in the Air Fryer

To cook these chicken and sweet potato treats, place the slices in a single layer on the tray of the air fryer so that they do not overlap. 

Bake on 200˚C (400˚F) for 3 minutes. Then reduce the heat to 149˚C (300˚F) and cook for a further 5 minutes. If your slices are slightly thicker, they may need to be cooked for a few more minutes at the lower temperature.

Store the treats in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three weeks.

Discard the leftover broth.

Cook in the Oven

To cook these chicken and sweet potato treats, place the slices in a single layer on a lined oven tray so that they do not overlap. 

Bake on 130˚C (250˚F) for 2 to 3 hours. 

Flip once halfway through the cooking time.

When they are shrunken, dried out with some crispy and chewy pieces, they are done. 

Store the treats in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three weeks.

Discard the leftover broth.
