Third Baby Food: Chicken, Sweet Potato and Spinach image

My son loves this combination! It's good for him to get the protein from the chicken and nutrients from the spinach with the tasty goodness of the sweet potatoes (I've tried it too, it's not so bad!) Feel free to try other veggies that you have around the house too! I've used carrots or green beans with success as well. Such a time saver for busy moms and dads!

Time 2h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups peeled, cubed sweet potatoes
2 cups packed fresh spinach leaves
1 cup cubed skinless, boneless chicken
½ cup breast milk
½ cup water

Steps:

  • Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil; place sweet potatoes in steamer, cover, and steam until softened, about 8 minutes. Add spinach and cook until the sweet potatoes are easily mashed, about 5 minutes more.
  • Bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the cubed chicken and cook uncovered until no longer pink inside, about 10 minutes.
  • Combine chicken, sweet potatoes, spinach, breast milk, and water in a blender or food processor and blend until creamy.
  • Spread sweet potato-chicken mixture into an ice cube tray, cover with plastic wrap and freeze until solid, 2 to 3 hours. Transfer frozen cubes to a resealable plastic bag and store in the freezer.
  • To serve, heat cubes in the microwave until warm but not hot, about 30 seconds. Stir thoroughly.

This is a great basic recipe that you can easily customize to your baby's liking. For example, you could add more spices or herbs to the chicken, or you could use a different type of vegetable, such as carrots or peas.

This recipe is a great way to introduce your baby to new flavors and textures. The chicken is mild enough that it won't overwhelm their palate, and the sweet potatoes and spinach add a nice sweetness and earthiness.
