1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper—protein-rich dough loves to stick.
2. Shred your cooked chicken and prepare vegetables by grating carrots and finely chopping green beans—your dogs will start gathering from the aroma.
3. Mix chicken, carrots, green beans, and pumpkin puree in a large bowl until evenly combined and beautifully colored.
4. Whisk the egg and add to the mixture along with whole wheat flour, stirring gently until a workable dough forms.
5. Add water gradually if needed—dough should hold together without being sticky or overly wet.
6. Roll out on a floured surface to 1/4 inch thickness and cut into shapes or squares (taste matters more than appearance).
7. Place on prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and firm throughout.
8. Let cool completely before treating your pup—these need to be fully set for proper texture!

Notes:

• Always use plain, fully cooked chicken with no seasoning
• Press pumpkin puree with paper towels if very wet
• Biscuits should feel firm and sound hollow when tapped

Storage Tips:

• Store at room temperature for 1 week in airtight container
• Refrigerate for up to 1 month for longer freshness
• Freeze for up to 3 months (they thaw perfectly)
• Keep in dry location for maximum crispness

What Makes This Recipe Special:
