Training Dog Treats Recipe (Cheese & Chicken Bites)

Pawprinted
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.
Equipment
  • Baking tray + parchment paper
  • Mixing bowl & spoon
  • Measuring cup
  • Optional: bone-shaped silicone mold or treat maker
Food ingredients
  
  • 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
Operation steps
 
  • 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.
note
• 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.
