Chicken Puree with Sweet Potato & Apple
Introduce your baby to chicken with this simple chicken recipe. The sweet potato and apple add sweetness and flavour to these simple chicken recipes 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. |
Ingredients
MethodHeat 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

This is a great recipe and so delicious - my baby loved it. Haven't tried it for a month and now she's 11 months and going through a fussy phase so I'm going to resurrect it. My husband and I also love this and I cook it for our dinner now - if you chop the chicken into bits and fry that separately and puree all the other ingredients together it almost tastes like a Korma sauce and is probably better for you!

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! :-)
