Our delicious chicken, green beans & avocado purée is a great baby food recipe and is perfect for introducing chicken to your weaning baby.
This baby purée is packed full of beneficial nutrients for your little one. Offer as a dip with a finger food such as toast slices for a tasty baby led weaning treat!
This meal is great as a family recipe too by serving the chicken and green beans with potatoes instead of blending it down as a baby food.

1 Chicken breast on the bone
Handful of green beans
250ml low salt Vegetable stock
