October 6, 2007 15:10 - Easy Peasy Steamed Chicken and Apple (7 months+)

Do you have a busy weekend ahead of you? If so, you're going to love this quick and easy chicken baby food recipe which is great served with brown rice.

You can substitute any of the veggies in this recipe for whatever is available locally (or whatever your baby prefers) - you can also increase the quantities and make these chicken parcels for the rest of the family, too!

Once cooked, this dish can be chopped to size for your baby and also purees very well if necessary.

You will need

1 skinless chicken breast
1/2 tsp olive oil
tiny piece of root ginger, peeled and crushed
1/2 small sweet potato
1 small garlic clove, crushed (optional)
1/2 small red pepper, diced
2 or 3 small broccoli florets
2 fl oz unsweetened apple juice

How to make it

Preheat oven to 375 deg F, 190 deg C.
Cut a square of aluminium foil and put the chicken breast in the middle.
Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and add the ginger, garlic and veggies.
Gather the foil together to create a 'parcel', then pour in the apple juice.
Seal the parcel and sit it on a baking sheet, then place in the oven.
Bake for 20-30 mins, until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are tender.
TAKE CARE WHEN YOU OPEN THE PARCEL - don't burn yourself on the escaping steam.
Bon appetit, baby!
