Chicken Pot Pie for Dogs

Another celebration calls for another yummy treat! I thought I spiced things up a bit for this year's Gotcha Day (December 21) with something other than a generic steak. As a human being, I love having a warm fresh chicken pot pie during the winter time. And with that thought, I wanted Cooper to have the same experience. Although he probably just saw it as any other food dish I give him, something to gobble up in a matter of seconds.

As always, our recipes are modified to be dog friendly. 

Materials

Four 4-oz Jars
1 8 in. Round Cake Pan
1 Whisk
Cutting Board
1 Sharp Knife
1 Large Mixing Bowl
1 Rolling Pin
1 Coconut Oil Spray
 

Ingredients

1/2 Water
1/4 Cup Coconut Oil
1 Egg
2 Cup All Purpose Flour
1 1/2 Cup Rolled Oats
2 Strips of Chicken Breast
1 Potato
1 Carrot

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. 
2. In a large bowl, mix in the water, melted coconut oil, egg, flour, and oats in those order.
3. Stir all ingredients together until you get a slightly sticky and doughy consistency.
4. Grab cutting board and flour up the surface, then grab the dough and start kneading it together until it becomes less sticky. Roll dough into a giant ball.
5. Roll out dough with rolling pin on floured surface to 1/8 inch thick.
6. Take the top lid ring of a 4-oz jar to cut out a circular shape in order to line the 4-oz jar.
7. Dice up the chicken breast, potato, and carrot.
8. Lightly oil the 4-oz jars with coconut oil spray.
9. Line jars with cut-out dough, place in the diced chicken, potato, and carrot.
10. Cut out another 1/8 inch thick circle from the dough to have as the top crust. Cut 4 slits on the top dough crust for the pot pie to breathe while baking.
11. Repeat Step 8-10 for the other 3 jars.
12. Take the 4 jars and place it in the cake pan.
13. Put it in the oven for about 40 minutes. 
14. Chicken Pot Pie is done once the crust harden with a crispy sound.All the meat and vegetables will be cooked at this point.
15. Serve to your dog once it completely cools and watch them devour it with happiness! 

Notes & Tips: 

• With leftover dough, use it for doggy cookies! Just simply roll out dough to 1/4 inch thick and either use cookie cutters or a knife to cut out shapes. Place it in the oven at 350°F for 20 minutes. Voila! More treats for your four-legged friend.
• Freeze the cookies and chicken pot pie to keep it lasting longer. It should last up to 1-2 months.
• Use your dog's food/meal as the filling for the pot pie if you don't want to give them chicken, carrots, or potatoes.
