1 cup plain wheat germ
1⁄2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 eggs
1 cup corn oil
4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3 cups water
4 cups cooked ground chicken
2 cups cooked and puréed sweet potatoes
2 cups frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained

Ahead of time, boil and purée your sweet potatoes. You can either boil or saute your ground chicken in a little oil.
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Prepare two large cookie sheets by spraying them with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rye flour, milk powder, bone meal, wheat germ, parsley, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and then blend them with the oil. Add the Worcestershire sauce and stir to combine.
Add the water to the flour mixture and mix well.
Fold in the egg mixture until it is combined.
Add the chicken, sweet potatoes, and spinach and fold them into the dough.
Spread the dough on the cookie sheets. You can use a rolling pin to make it flat and thin. Next, use a knife to cut it into small squares.
Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the dough is golden brown and crisp.
Then turn off the oven, and let the pieces dry out with the door closed for a few hours or even overnight.
Do not serve the food until it is completely dry and cool.
