Tasty Tuesday: Hearts for my Valentine Chicken Dog Treats

Posted by Kolchak on February 14, 2012.

You probably can’t tell, but I am blushing under all this dark fur.


The prettiest bichon around asked me to be her Valentine!! SQUEEE! Lookit:

off topic here… but would a puggle, would a puggle consider a Bichon for his Valentine? Because… Kol, I would love it for you to be MY Valentine… 
Do you know who that pretty girl is?

That’s ‘Vie, the smart, sassy funny little fireball who rules the roost over at Silvieon4.com. Isn’t she sweet? I am so excited to have a Valentine, especially one who is such a an activist for less fortunate pups and with such a highly elevated  palate. This girl knows good food. I like that.
And so, my dear ‘Vie, these are for you

Valentine Hearts Chicken Dog Treats

We made these with chicken, but really, you could make them with any meat and then ‘Vie’s brother JD could even have them. Are you a bison man, JD? These would be good with bison.

Whether your Valentine is hot & firey like ‘Vie or cool, calm & collected, we’ve got a treat to suit your special someone! These tasty treats can be baked into a warm, soft tasty treat or frozen into a scrumptious snack.

For the baked treats you need:
Silicone Heart Mold (ours is good in the oven or the freezer)
1 cup cooked, finely diced chicken
1/2 cup rice, cooked & mashed
3 tablespoons rice flour
1 tablespoon parsley
1 egg

Preheat oven to 350F.

Mix together all ingredients and stir well. Spoon into silicone moulds. Bake for 20 – 30 minutes, until tops are golden brown. Allow to cool and remove from molds. Store in fridge.

For the frozen treats you need:

Silicone Heart Mold (ours is good in the oven or the freezer)
1 cup cooked, finely diced chicken
1/2 cup rice, cooked
1 cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon parsley

In a blender or food processor, blend together all ingredients. Spoon into the silicone molds and place in freezer until solid.

(Kol’s Note: Not fussy about how they look? Just mix the chicken, rice & parsley together, spoon it into the molds, then pour stock over them. They taste just as good with half the work!)

Happy Valentines Day!
