Chicken and Sweet Potato Squares


Ingredients

Scale

  • 8 oz cooked chicken, shredded (about 225g, easily digestible lean protein)
  • 1 medium sweet potato, cooked and mashed (natural sweetness and beta-carotene)
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour (about 30g, naturally grain-free and gentle binding)
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth (flavor enhancement without excess salt)
  • 1 fresh egg (for perfect binding in nutritious squares)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (healthy fats and non-stick preparation)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a baking dish with coconut oil—essential for easy removal.
  2. Combine shredded chicken with smooth mashed sweet potato in large bowl.
  3. Gradually add coconut flour, then chicken broth and egg until mixture spreads easily.
  4. Spread evenly in greased baking dish, smoothing top for uniform baking.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes until set and lightly browned on top.
  6. Cool completely before cutting into squares—this prevents crumbling and makes serving easier!

Notes:

  • Always let cool completely for clean cutting and safe serving temperature
  • Amber prefers these firm enough to hold square shape but tender for easy digestion
  • If mixture seems too wet, add coconut flour gradually; too dry, add more broth

Storage Tips:

  • Store in refrigerator for up to 6 days in airtight containers
  • Cut into meal-sized portions for easy serving throughout the week
  • Freeze individually wrapped squares for up to 3 months

What Makes This Recipe Special:

These squares combine chicken’s complete protein with sweet potatoes’ complex carbohydrates and beta-carotene, all bound with grain-free coconut flour for dogs with sensitivities. Unlike commercial grain-free foods with questionable fillers, every orange-speckled bite delivers real food nutrition that supports digestive health while satisfying comfort food cravings.

Mix It Up (Dog-Safe Variations):

Digestive Support Squares: Add 1 tablespoon plain pumpkin puree for extra fiber and stomach-soothing properties

Immune Boosting Squares: Include finely chopped fresh parsley for antioxidants and breath-freshening benefits

High-Calorie Squares: Add extra coconut oil for underweight or very active dogs needing more calories
