Steamed Chicken & Apple

The mild flavour of chicken teams well with the sweetness of fruit. Using a fruit that baby is familiar with helps to introduce her to a new flavour.

Ingredients :
1/2 red cooking apple, peeled and cored
2 boneless, skinless chicken tenderloins

Thinly slice the apple and cut the chicken into small cubes.

Place the chicken tenderloin pieces in a steamer and arrange the apple slices over the chicken

Set over a saucepan of boiling water and steam for about 5 mins or until tender

Puree or finely chop the chicken and apple, together with a little of the cooking liquid
