Baby Chicken Dinner (Baby Food) Recipe

Preparation: For Babies 6-12 months: In a covered pot, and using no salt or spices, combine water, chicken breast, and rice . Simmer 20 minutes and add carrots and green beans. Simmer an additional 10 minutes. Blend or process the meat with enough of the cooking broth to make it moist. Mash the carrots and then the beans. Store separately in individual servings in the freezer sealed in plastic sandwich bags, or in a plastic ice-cube tray, which must be bagged and tied. Defrost a meal at breakfast, so it is ready to heat for lunch. As your child gets a few months older and can chew better, you can grate these ingredients instead of blending them and you can use your leftovers, too.
