Step 4: Combine chicken, rice, and chicken stock in a blender until paste forms.
Step 5: Mix in your Chicken & Brown Rice UnKibble, flour, and egg in a bowl, knead into a dough, and flatten. Cut out into dog bone shape and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
