Chicken Recipe for your Little One-

Chicken soup recipe for little one-

Chicken Soup is highly nutritious mixture of proteins that is very easy for your baby to digest. Chicken can be introduced to your baby from 8 months onwards (AAP and WHO says it can introduce as early 6 months).Chicken soup is best remedy to give babies in cold and cough. 

Ingredients-

• Chicken - 2 pieces (I prefer boneless chicken breast)
• Garlic-1 or 2 clove
• Onion - 1 small
• Vegetables ( carrot ,beetroot, spinach, beans , green peas , potato ) - 1 small cup 
• Water / Chicken Stock - 2 cup
• Butter - 1 spoon

How to make it-

1. Wash and clean the chicken
2. Chop the garlic and onion
3. Cut the veggies to squares
4. In a pressure cooker add butter and saute garlic and onions till it turns translucent (you can put little ginger too)
5. Add the veggies and let it fry for few mins then add chicken pieces in it
6. Pressure cook for 2 whistles with water
7. Once cooled off , blend the mixture and strain the clear watery soup or you an serve blend chicken purée to your baby.

Note- 

-No need to blend if baby is able to chew the soft veggies and chicken,just mash with back of spoon or remove chicken with a slotted spoon or any spoon and place on a cutting board. Chop chicken into very small pieces and return to cooker and serve hot soup to your baby.

- 1/2 cup of plain pasta, any shape, already cooked can be added to chicken soup. Just before serving to your baby (don't forget to get it boil with soup for 5 min at least)

-You can alter soup as much as your baby like by adding fewer vegetables or more liquid.
