Chicken & Rice Dog Treat Bites

Little baked bites that turn plain cooked chicken and rice into an easy treat you can carry in a pocket. These are occasional treats and training rewards — not a meal, and not a diet for an unwell dog.

Chicken & Rice Dog Treat Bites

Makes About 30 small bites · 40 minutes total

Ingredients

  • 200 g plain cooked boneless skinless chicken, finely chopped or shredded
  • 1 cup (about 160 g) plain cooked rice, cooled
  • 1/3 cup (about 35 g) rolled oats or oat flour
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  1. 1Heat the oven to 180°C / 350°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. 2Check the chicken and remove any skin or bone fragments, then chop it very finely.
  3. 3Combine the chicken, cooled rice, oats and egg in a bowl and mix until the mixture holds together when pressed.
  4. 4Shape small teaspoon-sized bites and press each one lightly flat on the tray.
  5. 5Bake for 22-25 minutes until firm and pale golden.
  6. 6Cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Storage

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze for up to 2 months in a sealed bag and defrost in the fridge.
  • Because these contain cooked meat and no preservatives, discard anything that smells off.

Serving considerations

  • These are occasional treats and training rewards. They are not complete dog food, not balanced homemade dog food and not a long-term chicken-and-rice diet.
  • If your dog is unwell or off their food, speak to your vet rather than changing their diet at home.
  • Serving size depends on your dog's size, health and normal diet — treats should stay a small part of daily intake.
  • Use plain chicken and plain rice only: no skin, no bones, no salt, no seasoning and no stock or broth, which often contains onion or garlic.
