Chicken and Vegetable Puree

This Chicken and Vegetable Puree is perfect to introduce chicken to your weaning baby. Chicken is the ideal first meat for your baby as it is rich in protein and B vitamins, with a mild flavour. This recipe is great to serve as a purée, or with texture as a dip with finger foods such as cooked vegetable slices or pasta for a baby led weaning meal your little one will enjoy.

Cook time: 25 minutes
Makes: 4 2oz portions
