Chicken Recipes

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

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! :-)
