Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (shredded) Cooked chicken breast
- 2 medium (peeled and diced into small cubes) Potatoes
- 1 medium (peeled and finely diced) Carrot
- 1 small (finely diced) Zucchini
- 0.5 cup Unsalted chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.125 teaspoon Paprika (optional)
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt (optional for children over 1 year)
- 1 tablespoon (chopped, optional for garnish) Fresh parsley
Instructions
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil and unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and sauté for 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until they start to turn golden and soften.
Add the diced carrot and zucchini to the skillet. Sauté for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Sprinkle garlic powder and paprika (if using) over the vegetables. Stir well to coat.
Add the shredded chicken and the unsalted chicken broth to the skillet. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the chicken to heat through.
Remove the lid and check the consistency. If there is excess liquid, increase the heat slightly and cook uncovered for 1-2 minutes until the broth reduces.
Taste and add salt if appropriate for your toddler's age and dietary needs.
Serve warm, topped with chopped parsley for additional flavor and color if desired.
