👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, chicken, sweet potato, broth, and egg. Stir until the dough comes together—it should be slightly sticky but workable. If too dry, add a splash of broth; if too wet, sprinkle in more flour.
Step 3: Shape the Biscuits
Scoop spoonfuls of dough, roll into small balls, and flatten with your hands or a fork to form biscuit shapes. Place them evenly spaced on the baking sheet.
Step 4: Bake
Bake for 20–25 minutes, until firm and golden. For a crunchier texture, extend baking time or let biscuits rest in the oven as it cools.
Step 5: Cool and Serve
Allow the biscuits to cool completely before serving. Watch your dog’s tail wag with excitement!
