Pumpkin, chicken and corn puree - Real Recipes from Mums

A quick and colourful baby puree, great to make, freeze and share

Ingredients (makes 36 baby food cubes)

1/4 small butternut pumpkin, diced
250g chicken mince
200g corn kernals (drained and rinsed)

Method

Steam pumpkin until soft (reserve water for puree once pumpkin is steamed).
Cook minced chicken in a non-stick pan.
Add corn and steamed pumpkin to chicken mince.
Add some cooking water 1-2 tablespoons at a time and blend to achive the desired consistency.
Freeze in ice cube trays

Notes

I find that this is great as a pasta sauce for older bubbies. The recipe can be modified to be a more appropriate texture for older babies. With the quantities this makes I found that it was great to swap for other purees with other mums so bubs was not eating the same thing all the time.

My baby loves this combination. We just boil a chicken tender though and cook the rest then purée. Yum!
