This easy shredded chicken recipe is great for the whole family, especially your weaning baby! Shredded chicken is a fantastic texture and flavour to offer to your baby and even better if you're introducing chicken for the first time - it has a mild flavour and is full of great nutrients for your baby.
Add this easy ingredient to any recipe, such as stews, chillis, fried rice or even just sandwiches.
Tip: This easy shredded chicken also freezes really well! Make extra and keep in your freezer for up to 3 months.
Makes: Approx. 550g (20 oz)
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil
4 skinless boneless chicken breasts
180ml (3/4 cup) low salt chicken stock
Salt* and pepper to taste
*Omit salt for baby
Method
- Heat a pan to medium high heat and add the olive oil.
- Place the chicken breasts on the heated pan and season with salt and pepper, if using. Allow the chicken to cook for about 5 minutes, then turn over to cook on the other side for a further 5 minutes.
- Next add the stock, turn down the heat to medium and place the lid on top. Cook for a further 7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove the chicken and shred by either using a fork or stand mixer.
- If using a stand mixer (I highly recommend this!), use the paddle attachment and mix for about a minute. For your baby add a small amount of the stock in so that it's nice and moist.

Baby able for texture - Add some peas and rice.
