Ingredients
- 1 5-ounce can chunk white chicken breast, undrained
- ¼ cup mashed sweet potato
- 1 egg

In 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.

Turn 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.
