Place over medium-high heat, bring to the boil stirring constantly.

Reduce heat to medium-low, cover saucepan and simmer until the rice is tender and all of the liquid has been absorbed (about 25-30 minutes).

Finely chop your chicken or run it through a blender, briefly.

In a large bowl, mix flour, oats, crumble stock cubes, then mix and add the beaten eggs and chopped chicken meat.

Stir in enough water to make a firm, slightly sticky dough.

Spread or roll out onto cooked sheets about 1/2 inch thick, dip a small cookie cutter in flour before cutting out each portion (or use a floured rim of a glass).

Bake for one hour, then cool before serving.  

Store in the fridge - can be kept for up to 14 days in the refridgerator.

I put cut slices ( various quantities) into freezer bags (when cold) and then freeze.
