Chicken Breast Mash for Baby Food

1. 1 Chicken breast filletpack 800 g ≈ $7.41 60 g

Grey rows are pantry staples: salt, oil, spices. They are not counted in the serving price.

Method

1. Rinse the breast, remove skin and fat, cut into 2–3 cm chunks, cover with 300 ml cold water, and bring to a boil; skim off any foam.

2. Simmer covered on low heat for 30–35 minutes until fully cooked: the meat should be white all the way through, with no pink juice.

3. Blend the chicken¹ with 3–5 tablespoons of warm broth until completely smooth and lump-free; strain through a sieve if needed.

4. Cool until lukewarm and check temperature with a drop on your wrist. Introduce new food starting with 1–2 teaspoons.

5. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 24 hours or freeze in portions; reheat only once.

In short

• A child's portion for ages 1–3; suitable from 6 months. For younger kids, halve it and purée.
