Non-gluten free treats

1 cup cooked and cooled wild rice

2 tablespoons ground, fresh ginger

1-12.5 oz can cooked chicken (well drained)

1 whole egg

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

2 cups whole-wheat flour (plus more for dusting)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit 

Honey-glaze

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon water

Instructions:

Prepare rice according to package instructions (or use leftover rice). Instead of water, I would suggest cooking your rice in unsalted chicken broth for added flavor. Once cooled, mix with all ingredients except flour until combined. Add flour and mix until incorporated—it will be a stiff dough which you may need to finish mixing with your hands.

Once mixed, turn out onto a well-floured surface and roll or pat out until ¼ to ½ inch thickness. Cut shapes with your favorite cutter and place on a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet making sure they don’t touch.

Brush on honey-glaze right before placing in the oven.
