Baby Food- chicken

Ranikabani's Note:

I used to make my own baby food when the kids were younger. This was one of their favourites. Gradually, I added garlic powder, onion powder (as they got older), parsley, herbs, ginger, cayenne, cumin. Soon, they were able to eat all the spicy foods that I cooked. This is a good basic recipe even if you're not trying to introduce new flavours, vegetables , etc. Prep time includes the time to bake the chicken. For younger babies, this may be good for 2-3 serivings. For older ones, it would probably be sufficient for one serving. I have recorded it as one serving in this case.

I made this for my 22 month old and she loved it. She isn't much of a meat eater so I put 1/8 C. of chicken, boiled and cubed potatoes, 1/8 C. peas, a pinch of garlic powder and onion powder and I threw in some colby cheese. I tried it too, it was very good! Thanks for an easy and tasty recipe!

I give this 5 stars on behalf of my 14 month old daughter who couldn't get enough...she ate the whole thing! I've been looking for healthy recipes for her and this fits the bill perfectly. I cut the cooking time down by microwaving a small red potato and throwing a small chicken breast on the George Foreman. I also added some no-salt added peas, which she loves. Thanks again...can't wait to try some of your other baby food recipes.
