6. Cool completely before serving.

1. Slice chicken breast as above.

2. Arrange strips on dehydrator trays.

3. Set dehydrator to 160°F (71°C).

4. Dry for 4–5 hours, or until chicken is firm, dry, and chewy.

If you don't have a dehydrator at home, we highly recommend getting one to make treats for your dogs easier and you can make a lot at once. This stainless steel dehydrator from Amazon is extremely powerful with 1200W, has overheat protection, and PERFECT for dog jerkies treats.

Storage:

• Airtight container in the fridge: 2 weeks

• Freezer: up to 3 months

These Rubbermaid containers from Amazon are both fridge and freezer safe.

Tip: Chicken jerky is a low-fat option dogs love. For consistent results, use a dehydrator.
