Introduce your baby to chicken with this tasty baby food recipe. The carrots and apple add a sweetness and flavour that babies love and give the puree a smoother texture. You could also make this using sweet potato instead of the carrots.
 

 

 

A lot of mums continue giving only fruit and vegetable purees to their babies when in fact they need fish, chicken and meat introduced into the diet soon after 6 months. This makes a very good first chicken puree. You could also make this using chicken thigh – the brown meat of chicken contains twice as much iron as the white.

Comments !

Unfortunately my baby didn't like this puree at all and screwed up his face a lot! Plus, he gets acid with anything that has onions in, so was sick a few times after eating this. I might try this recipe when he's a bit older and won't add the onions...

 

Just made this recipe today and my son absolutely loved it! He practically licked the bowl! lol I will definately be making this one again.

 

i changed the chicken for a pork chop. Deeelicious !
Not only does Harry eat it bet doing a less pureed version makes lovely chunky soup for the whole family.
