Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Chicken breast
- 150 grams Potatoes
- 50 grams Carrot
- 120 milliliters Unsalted chicken stock
- 60 milliliters Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh parsley (optional, finely chopped)
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes and carrot into small, equal-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
Cut the chicken breast into small cubes for faster cooking and easier blending.
In a medium saucepan, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat, and add the diced chicken. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
In the same saucepan, melt 1 teaspoon of unsalted butter, then add the diced potatoes and carrot. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the unsalted chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the vegetables simmer for about 15 minutes or until fully tender.
Once the vegetables are cooked, return the chicken to the saucepan. Add the whole milk and heat through for 2 minutes, stirring gently.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly before transferring it to a blender or food processor.
Blend the mixture until smooth, adding a little more milk or stock if needed to reach your desired consistency.
Taste to ensure it's mild and suitable for a baby (no added salt or strong spices).
Divide the puree into baby-safe portions and sprinkle with finely chopped parsley if desired (for older babies). Serve warm, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, or freeze for up to 1 month.
