This Chicken and Vegetable Puree is perfect to introduce chicken to your weaning baby. Chicken is the ideal first meat for your baby as it is rich in protein and B vitamins, with a mild flavour. This recipe is great to serve as a purée, or with texture as a dip with finger foods such as cooked vegetable slices or pasta for a baby led weaning meal your little one will enjoy.
