Chicken and apple mash
- Age: 8–10 months (New textures)
- Texture: Mash
- Prep: 5 min
- Cook: 15 min
- Makes: 3 portions
Ingredients
- 1 small chicken thigh, boneless, diced
- 1 sweet eating apple
- 1 small potato
- 100 ml water or unsalted stock
Contains: None of the common allergens
Method
- Simmer the chicken, the peeled diced apple and the potato in the stock, covered, 15 minutes.
- Chop the chicken small and mash everything, leaving lumps.
- Cool to lukewarm.
Safety: Cooked right through, with no pink. Mash with a fork, not a blender, and leave soft lumps — at this age lumps are the point.
Storage: Fridge 2 days, freezer 1 month.
Tip: Apple and chicken is a pairing babies rarely refuse. Thigh stays tender; breast does not.
