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.

  

Ingredients

  • ½ tbsp olive oil
  • ½ small onion, peeled and chopped
  • 100g chicken breast, cut into chunks
  • 1 sweet potato approx 300g, peeled and chopped
  • 200ml unsalted chicken stock or use water with a bay leaf
  • 1 small apple, cored, peeled and chopped

  

Method

Heat the olive oil in a saucepan and sauté the onion till softened. 

Add the chicken and sauté until it turns opaque.

Add the sweet potato, apple and stock.

Bring to the boil and simmer for about 15 minutes. Puree to the desired consistency.

 

Information

Makes approx 5 portions
Suitable for freezing

My son is quite fussy and often turns his nose up at savoury dishes, preferring his puddings. However, he LOVES this one - and its such a relief for me knowing he's getting some protein from the chicken! Thanks - can't wait to try your other recipes

and to add onto this ... now my son has moved onto the next stage I've added some fresh rosemary (or thyme) to the ingredients and puree it to more of a chunky texture. It's still one of his favourites, and ours!

I changed the chicken to pork in order to get a greater variety of food for my son and he absolutely loves it. Mind you, so do I and so does his Dad! :-)
