Easy One Pot Chicken
Chicken is an ideal first meat for babies. It blends well with root vegetables like carrot and sweet potato. One Pot Chicken would make a good first chicken puree. You can leave out the peas and if you like you could add a small chopped apple with the carrot and sweet potato. Chicken blends well with fruits and babies like the naturally sweet flavour that fruit. Frozen vegetables are frozen within hours of being picked thus locking in all the nutrients so its fine to use ingredients like frozen peas when making your baby’s puree. For older babies you can finely chop rather than puree this and mix it with some cooked rice.

I have the original recipe book wit this in, and I thought i'd add some peas, and low and behold the updated recipe has peas in it, I alos did half the sweet potato and half normal potato and my baby loved it, I may reduce the amount of stock next time too as the book says 300ml, I pureed half and mashed half, that way it was textured and not too smooth, she loved it!

This is a favourite for my son who is now nearly 8 months old. In fact, it was the 1st protein based dish i served up to him and he has loved it from day one. I even find myself swiping a sneaky mouthful! yum yum yum :)
