Chicken and Veggie Mash
A protein-rich puree of tender chicken, sweet potato, and peas designed for babies 8 months and older. Provides essential protein and iron to support healthy growth.
Ingredients
- 4 oz boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1 small sweet potato, peeled and diced
- ¼ cup frozen peas
- 1 cup water
Method
- Cut chicken breast into small, uniform pieces to ensure even cooking. Peel and dice sweet potato.
- Place chicken pieces and diced sweet potato in a small saucepan. Cover with water and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until chicken is cooked through and sweet potato is very tender.
- Add frozen peas during the last 3 minutes of cooking.
- Reserve the cooking liquid. Transfer chicken, sweet potato, and peas to a blender.
- Blend until smooth, adding reserved cooking liquid a tablespoon at a time until you reach the right consistency for your baby.
- Cool to a safe lukewarm temperature. Test on your wrist before serving.
Chef's note: NEVER add honey for babies under 1 year. No salt or sugar needed. Suitable for babies 8+ months who have been introduced to single-ingredient purees. Always ensure chicken is fully cooked through to 165 degrees F. Freeze portions for up to 2 months.
