Chicken, Peas and Quinoa Baby Food image

This baby food is for older babies who can chew well. I made this recipe up and although I know it is healthy it is not approved by the FDA or a pediatrician. My son loves it and does not have any problem eating or digesting it and that is good enough for me. I use all organic ingredients and freeze it in an ice cube tray. Reheat in the microwave 15 seconds at a time stirring each time.

Time 25m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 chicken tenderloins
1 1/2 cups frozen peas
1/3 cup quinoa
3 cups water
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder

Steps:

  • Simmer the first 4 ingredients, uncovered, in a medium sauce pot for 20 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and puree with an immersion blender until the chicken and peas are smooth enough for baby to eat. I leave some very small pieces, but you can puree as smooth as you want.
  • Add the last 4 ingredients a stir to combine.
  • Thin with more water, milk, breast milk or formula if needed. Cool to room temp then freeze.
