Our best tip: Chicken thighs stay moister than breast and blend into a smoother puree.
Baby food safety: check with your pediatrician before starting solids or introducing allergens. Never give honey before 12 months, add no salt or sugar, cool food to lukewarm and test the temperature, and always seat and supervise your baby while eating. Introduce one new food at a time and watch for reactions.

Ingredients
- 8 oz boneless chicken thighs, cubed
- 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
- 1 apple, peeled, cored and chopped
- 1 1/2 cups water
Instructions
- Simmer the chicken and carrots in the water, covered, 15 minutes. Add the apple and cook 10 minutes more, until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Blend to the texture your baby is ready for: smooth, or pulse for a few soft lumps.
- Cool to lukewarm. Refrigerate up to 3 days, or freeze in a covered ice cube tray, then move cubes to a labeled freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight.
Notes: Chicken thighs stay moister than breast and blend into a smoother puree. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
