molasses mint chicken jerky dog treat recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 or 3 Chicken Breasts
  • 1/4 cup Molasses
  • pinch Cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons dried Peppermint leaves
  • 3 cups Water or more as needed

Instructions

  • Combine water, molasses, cinnamon and peppermint in a bowl.
  • Clean the chicken breasts, then carefully slice them into strips, removing all the fat you can from the meat. They are easier to cut if allowed to freeze slightly.
  • Place chicken strips into the mint marinade and allow the chicken to marinate for at least an hour.
  • Preheat oven to 180 degrees fahrenheit.
  • Place on a cookie sheet 1/2 inches apart, brush with additional marinated for extra flavor.
  • 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.
  • Cool and store in an air tight container.

Notes

If you have a food dehydrator it can be used to dry the meat as well, just follow the manufacture instructions.
