Chicken Rice Mash for Babies

Its been a while since I posted a baby food recipe, so let today's recipe be just that. I've introduced Chackochi to meat quite earlier than I did with Kochu. He seems to like chicken and beef but not so much the pork. I'm yet to give him some fish, but when I do I think I'll start with salmon as it has so much of essential fatty acids that helps with brain development.

This chicken rice recipe is just a basic recipe and you can add more veggies or even fruits into it and serve your baby different variations so that he does not get bored.

Chicken Rice Mash

Ingredients:
Chicken - 1/2 cup boneless
Rice - 1 cup
Butter - 1/2 tsp
Salt

Method: 

1. In a covered pot, combine water, chicken and salt(optional) . Simmer 20 minutes. Allow to cool.
2. Meanwhile cook the rice and keep it aside. 
3. Blend together cooked rice, chicken, a little chicken broth and butter(add salt if required).
4. Serve warm.

Notes

• Add the chicken broth according to the consistency of the mixture.
• 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.
