Chicken and sweet potato mash
- Age: 8–10 months (New textures)
- Texture: Mash
- Prep: 8 min
- Cook: 15 min
- Makes: 3 portions
Ingredients
- 1 small chicken thigh, boneless and skinless
- 1 small sweet potato
- 100 ml water or unsalted stock
Contains: None of the common allergens
Method
- Dice the chicken small and the sweet potato into cubes.
- Simmer both in the stock, covered, 15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through with no pink and the potato is soft.
- Mash with a fork, keeping soft lumps. Loosen with the cooking liquid.
- Cool to lukewarm.
Safety: Chicken cooked right through — no pink, no pink juices. Mash it well; stringy meat is hard to manage at this age.
Storage: Fridge 2 days, freezer 1 month.
Tip: First meat, and thigh is the cut: it stays tender where breast turns to string.
