Equipment
Method
- Begin by preparing your ingredients: wash, peel, and chop the carrots; cut the chicken into small pieces.
- In a pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until they start to brown lightly, about 5 minutes.
- Add the chopped carrots to the pot and pour in the water or chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until both the chicken and carrots are very soft.
- Once cooked, let the mixture cool for a few minutes. Transfer it to a blender or food processor and blend until you reach a smooth puree, adding more water or broth if needed to achieve your desired consistency.
- For a lumpier texture, process the mixture for a shorter time to incorporate small soft pieces.
- Allow the puree to cool before serving it to your baby. Store any leftovers in the fridge and consume within 48 hours.
