Recipe: How to Bake Chicken For Dogs

August 23, 2016 By Amanda 17 Comments

Dogs need plenty of protein in their diets, and there are many reasons to treat your dogs to delicious meats such as chicken. Chicken makes for a high value reward for positive reinforcement training, and this choice of poultry is perfectly paired with rice to help a dog with tummy issues. This time around I was baking chicken for Wynston’s professional photo shoot. With this treat in hand, Wynston is always focused on me. So now I’m teaching you how to bake chicken for dogs!

You may be thinking, “Well, I bake chicken for myself all the time! I’ll just give my dog some of that!” Think before doing that because many yummy chicken entrees are seasoned with lots of herbs and extras like salt. This recipe is very bland and perfect for pups. (Although I will admit it still turned out juicy and moist!)

Recipe to Bake Chicken for Dogs

Materials:

  • Boneless chicken breasts (I used Foster Farms, as they are free of additives and hormones.)
  • A non-stick agent (I used fat-free olive oil cooking spray because I feel it’s healthier than butter.)
  • Pyrex glass baking dish

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Lightly coat the bottom of the glass cooking dish with the non-stick agent you chose to use.
  • Lay the chicken breasts in the dish.
  • Cook uncovered for 20-30 minutes. Smaller pieces of chicken may require less time to fully cook. When you take the chicken out of the oven, cut it down the middle to ensure it’s cooked inside. If it’s not, return it to the oven so it can cook longer.

  • Let the chicken cool for about 15-20 minutes.
  • Cut the breasts on a cutting board into pieces that are most fitting for your dog.
  • Add to rice for a healthy meal for your pup or use small pieces for training. Enjoy!

If you’d like to bake chicken for you AND your dog at the same time, you can absolutely season it to your liking but be sure to leave an unseasoned piece for your pups 🙂

    What a great idea! My dog always loves it when I cook chicken, and to find a great healthy recipe for him? Perfect! I wonder if my cat would like a little bit in his food too.

    Having chicken breast on hand is so versatile, and the poodles love it too! Thanks for advocating healthy treats! I hope Wynston ‘s photo shoot goes well!

    I bake chicken routinely for my herd. I do not add anything but 6 boneless skinless breasts to a glass baking dish. I cover it with plastic wrap, then aluminum foil on top of that. Bake at 350 for 50 minutes, let stand for 30 minutes. Place it on a cookie rack to drain juices, then freeze it. It comes out nearly fall apart tender.

    It looks simple. I never cooked anything like this for my dog, I always used only dog food. I need to try. Thanks for the recipe!

    Thank you for the simple recipe. I really like the comment that you can cook it for you and your pup.
    Our Chico is almost 14 and it is a challenge since he stopped eating dogs food and each day he likes something else or actually dislike
    All the best

    My puppy has a very sensitive stomach and none of the store bought treats sit well with him. He loves the taste and will eat as many as I give him, but I believe all of the additives and preservatives gives him an upset stomach. Baked chicken (bland) is a great treat that is very easy on his stomach. We have one happy puppy!
