Equipment
- A food dehydrator you could also use your oven
- Heat-sealed bags for gifting.
Ingredients
- 2-3 Chicken breast fillets
Instructions
- Trim away any visible fat from the breast fillets, then slice into thin strips (around 3-5 mm thick) for even drying.
- Lay the slices in a single layer on your dehydrator trays (or on a wire rack on a baking sheet if using the oven).
- Set your dehydrator to about 75 °C (165 °F) and dry for at least 8 hours, or until the strips snap when bent. If using the oven: set it to the lowest possible setting (about 80 °C fan) and bake 4-5 hours, turning halfway, until dry and crisp.
- Allow the strips to cool completely before packaging or storing.
- For gifting: seal in heat-sealed bags, or use airtight containers if storing for everyday treats.
