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

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. |
Ingredients1 tablespoon butter
Method:Heat the butter in a saucepan, add the onion,and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chicken and sauté for a couple of minutes until it turns opaque. Add the sweet potato and apple and broth. Bring to boil, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Purée to the desired consistency.
Information: makes 4 portions cooking time: 20 minutes |

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! :-)
