Training Dog Treats Recipe (Cheese & Chicken Bites)
Soft, cheesy, and protein-packed dog treats perfect for training sessions. Made with real chicken, low-fat cheese, and oat flour — quick, gentle on the stomach, and vet-approved for everyday rewards.
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast very finely chopped
- 1/2 cup low-fat cheese shredded
- 1/2 cup oat flour or finely blended oats
- 1 egg binder
- Optional: 1 tsp finely chopped parsley for fresh scent & color
Cook the chicken:
Poach or steam chicken breast until fully cooked and tender. Let cool, then mince very finely for even mixing.
Mix the base:
Combine shredded cheese and oat flour in a bowl. Fold in chopped chicken until the texture becomes slightly sticky.
Add egg and shape:
Crack in one egg and mix well until the dough binds together. Pinch off pea-sized pieces or use a small scoop.
Bake or air-fry:
Arrange bites on parchment paper. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 18–22 minutes, or air-fry at 320°F (160°C) for 8–10 minutes until firm but soft inside.
Cool & store:
Let cool fully. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer.
• Make pieces very small — one success, one treat.
• If crumbly, add a teaspoon of egg white; if too wet, dust with oat flour.
• Store up to 5 days refrigerated or 2 months frozen.
• Rotate with hypoallergenic duck & rice treats for variety.
• Follow the 90/10 rule: treats ≤10% of daily calories.
