Butternut Squash, Sweet Potato, and Chicken Purée for Baby

Ingredients

  1. 1 small butternut squash (about 3 2/3 cups / 550 g peeled)
  2. 1 small sweet potato (about 1 2/3 cups / 250 g peeled)
  3. 1/2 onion (about 1/3 cup / 45 g, only from 8 months)
  4. 1.4 oz chicken breast fillet (40 g) for a 6-month-old baby / 2.1 oz (60 g) for an 8-month-old baby
  5. 4 teaspoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Wash it, remove the top, then cut it in half. Next, remove the seeds inside, then peel it (I explained a peeling method in the butternut squash soup recipe here). Then cut it into pieces about 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick. Place the butternut squash pieces in the steamer basket.
  2. Wash it, peel it, then cut it into slices about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) thick. Place the sliced sweet potato in the steamer basket with the butternut squash.
  3. Peel it, cut it in half, and place it with the sweet potato and butternut squash.
  4. I recommend not using too much mineral water for steaming so this water is more concentrated for the “broth.” In the Cookeo, I pressure-cooked everything for 15 minutes. For regular steaming, allow 20 to 22 minutes: the vegetables should be very tender!
  5. Meanwhile, cut the chicken into small cubes. I used chicken tenderloins, but chicken breast fillet works very well too.
  6. Steam for about 4 minutes. Check that the chicken cubes are fully cooked through.
  7. Place the vegetables in the blender with the olive oil. Blend!
  8. Spoon the vegetable purée into the containers.
  9. For a 6-month-old baby: Blend the chicken together with the vegetables
  10. For a baby from 8 months: blend the chicken finely, separately from the vegetables. This adds a little texture to the dish!
  11. Then pour the cooking water into a bottle or sippy cup so baby can drink it (lukewarm or at room temperature) while eating the meal.
