how to cook chicken?

For DD? I really don't want to puree it -- the thought literally makes me want to hurl. My friend said I can boil it and then chop it up really finely?? Anyone try this?

  • what if you use ground chicken?  then you can just brown it

  • You can use ground chicken, boil or roast it then shred it, or buy canned and saute it.
  • I found this recipe and am trying it right now!

    Simmering Sweet Apples & Chicken or Turkey?1 chicken breast or 1 turkey breast filet - uncooked and diced?
    1 or 2 medium sized apples (try Macintosh), peeled, cord and diced
    1/2 cup peeled and diced sweet potato
    2 cup water or?chicken or vegetable stock?Combine all ingredients in a medium sized pot
    Bring to a slow boil and then turn the heat down.
    Simmer until the meat pieces are cooked; approximately 20 minutes. Keep an eye on the liquid level when simmering!When meat is fully cooked and the apples are mushy, remove contents to a bowl and allow to cool. Puree, mash or chop for your baby.

  • Mmmm!  That recipe sounds pretty good!  Thanks for sharing!  I'm gonna' try that w/Evie in the next few days...  Wink
  • We never gave Oliver any meat until he started on table foods, around 10 months. I just couldn't stand the purees, I think he had a few of the Earth's Best turkey dinners, but ugh the smell. They don't really need meat yet, so I wasn't worried about it. When I did start him on it, we first did ground turkey cooked but not fried where it gets too crunchy. Also small pieces of sauted chicken cut up in tiny cubes. I think I'd wait on it if I were you.
  • We didn't do meat either until she was about 9-10 months. When we feed her chicken now - we boil the chicken and break it up into small pieces.
