Recipe: Crispy Chicken Chips
Ingredients
chicken breast
Schleckies dip as a companion – makes the chips irresistible!
preparation
1. Prepare the chicken breast
- Cut the chicken breast into small pieces and puree in a blender or food processor until smooth.
- Make sure that the mixture is neither too liquid nor too dry – a creamy consistency is ideal so that the chips can be easily shaped.
2. Portion the mixture
- Place dehydrating foil or baking paper on the trays of your dehydrator.
- Fill the pureed chicken mixture into a piping bag (or a freezer bag with the corner cut off).
- Pipe small dots onto the foil and press them flat with a bottle cap so that they look like thin chips.
Tip for creative shapes:
If you want to get creative when making your own cat treats, you can shape the mixture into special shapes before drying.
With small cookie cutters - like fish🐟, hearts❤️ or stars⭐ - you can make the chips even cuter and bring variety to your cat's everyday life! 😺
3. Dry in the dehydrator
- Set your dehydrator to 70 °C and let the chicken chips dry slowly for about 10 hours .
- This makes the chips nice and crispy while preserving their nutrients.
4. Let cool and serve
- Allow the chips to cool completely before offering them to your cat with a treat dip.
Why are human chips dangerous for cats?
Attention: Human chips are not for cats! They often contain:
- salt 🧂
- spices 🌶️
- onion or garlic powder 🧄
In addition, chips are made from potatoes 🥔 – and cats cannot digest large quantities of potatoes well. They provide hardly any nutrients, but a lot of starch, which is difficult for the sensitive cat stomach to process.
