Pet Treats<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks to Eldon H. for this recipe!\"Screen<\/a><\/p>\n

\nIngredients needed<\/strong>
\n<\/p>\n

1 lb ground chicken
\n
\n1\/2 cup water
\n
\n1 sweet potato- medium to large cubed<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In large skillet, on medium heat, cook chicken-breaking it up with a spoon until it starts to release liquid.<\/p>\n

Stir in sweet potato and water.<\/p>\n

Reduce heat to medium low, cover, and boil gently, stirring occasionally for about 15 minutes or until potatoes are soft and chicken is no longer pink.<\/p>\n

Remove lid, increase heat to medium high and boil until excess liquid evaporates.<\/p>\n

Transfer to shallow dish and cool completely. In food processor, puree chicken mixture until smooth. Scoop out level teaspoons for small snacks or rounded teaspoons for larger snacks and roll into a ball. With moistened fingers, press flat into a rounded rectangle or circle and place about 1\/4″ apart on cookie sheet or mesh drying trays, dipping fingers in water often to prevent sticking. Dry in oven at 175 degrees 5-7 hours or until dry. The longer you do it, the crispier they will get. Cool completely on trays. Store in airtight container in refrigerator up to 3 months. <\/p>\nClick here to read more<\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5990","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"\nAmerican Retirement Advisors 800-568-1095 Expert Advice<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"American Retirement Advisors, David P.
