1. Preheat your oven to 200°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper—low temperature is key for perfect jerky texture.
2. Slice chicken into 1/4 inch strips and vegetables into uniform thin slices for even dehydration.
3. Place chicken and vegetables in bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and toss until your dog starts begging from the amazing aroma.
4. Arrange in single layer on baking sheet with no overlapping—proper spacing ensures even drying.
5. Bake 2-3 hours until completely dried and firm—if your adventure buddy can wait that long!
6. Cool completely before storing or serving to ensure proper texture and safety.

Notes:

• Always let cool completely—dehydrated treats can be deceptively hot inside

• Check every hour after 2 hours to prevent over-drying

Storage Tips:

• Store in airtight containers up to 3 weeks at room temperature
• Perfect for hiking, camping, and travel adventures
• Properly dried jerky should have no moisture when bent
