Chicken recipes for baby

Chicken and cucumber porridge 

Once your baby reaches an age of 8 months you can add new kinds of food to its diet. Most babies love to eat meat  and with chicken recipes for baby like this one your baby will be able to explore some new tastes.

age: above 8 months (when your baby can eat finger food)

Ingredients:

- 3-4 teaspoons / 50g of Rice. My all time favorite is Rice Select's Jasmati Rice. It offers a very nice flavor and wonderful light texture.

- water about 1.5 cups / 400ml (depending on the type of rice you are using, some rice needs more water and some needs less)

- chicken breast chopped into cubes 1.5-2 ounces / 50g

- cucumber chopped into cubes 1.5-2 ounces / 50g

- Some drops of Sesame Oil. I love to use La Tourangelle Toasted Sesame Oil. This Sesame Oil has an exquisite flavor, high quality and a very good price.

How to cook:

1. Cook rice using a rice cooker or pot. When using a Rice Cooker use the slow cooking option. As with my other recipes I recommend you to give Aroma's 8-Cup Rice Cooker a try. It is very easy to use: Put rice in, add water, turn on, wait, enjoy your rice! Some rice cookers have a “porridge” option. The rice will take around 1-2 hours until it is cooked.

2. Add the chicken breast cubes (see first picture) after the rice has been cooked 20-30 minutes, stir to make them mixed evenly with the rice

Cucumber cubes

3. when the porridge is ready, add cucumber cubes, cook on low heat and then stir constantly for about 5 minutes until the cucumber is soft enough for baby to gum

4. Add 2-3 drops of toasted sesame oil (optional)

The final result!
