honey beet jerky dog treat recipe
Ingredients
- 2 to 3 Chicken Breasts
- 1 1/2 cup pureed Beets*
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1/2 teaspoon chopped Thyme Leaves
- 2 cups Water or more as needed
Instructions
- Mix pureed beets, honey and thyme leaves with water until smooth, set aside
- Clean the chicken breast and cut into strips, removing all the fat you can from the meat. It is easier to cut if you freeze the chicken slightly.
- Place chicken strips into the beet marinade and allow to marinate for at least an hour in the refrigerator.
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees fahrenheit.
- Place on a cookie sheet 1/2 inches apart, brush with marinade for additional flavor, sprinkle tops with thyme.
- Dry in an oven, with the door slightly open to let out moisture, for about 3 to 4 hours, until meat is dry appearance and texture
Notes
*I used canned sliced beets. A 15 ounce can yielded 1 1/2 cup of puree.
**If you have a food dehydrator that can be used to dry the meat as well, just follow the manufactures instructions.
