If your dog is a meat connoisseur—look no further. These homemade dog biscuits are made with chicken, bacon, and sweet potatoes—three flavors sure to appease your pup's palette. Not only do these treats contain tempting flavors any dog is sure to enjoy, but they're easy to make with only four steps and five ingredients.

Ingredients
- 1 5-ounce can chunk white chicken breast, undrained
- ¼ cup mashed sweet potato
- 1 egg
- 1 ½ cups white whole wheat flour
- 2 to 3 slices bacon, crisp cooked and finely chopped*
Directions
Step OnePreheat oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat; set aside.
Step TwoIn a food processor or blender, combine the chicken, sweet potato, and egg. Cover and process or blend until smooth. Transfer chicken mixture to large bowl. Add flour and bacon; mix well.
Step ThreeTurn dough out on a floured surface and knead until it comes together. Roll out to 1/4-inch thick and cut out with a 3-inch dog bone cookie cutter or another cutter of your choice. Re-roll scraps as needed. Using a fork, poke 4 holes in the center of each treat.
Step FourPlace biscuits on the prepared pan and bake for 35 minutes. Turn off oven and let biscuits cool inside for at least 1 hour. Transfer biscuits to a wire rack to cool completely.
*Bacon may induce pancreatitis in predisposed/small dog breeds, so pay attention to portion sizes.
Storage: Transfer completely cooled biscuits to an airtight container or resealable plastic bag. Refrigerate up to 1 week or freeze up to 3 months. Thaw before serving.
