Low in fat and calories, chicken will add texture and protein to your child’s diet. For baby food, cook chicken longer in the pressure cooker than you normally would, so that it purees easily.
MAKES ABOUT 2 CUPS
INGREDIENTS
- 4 organic bone-in chicken breast halves, skin removed
- 1 cup filtered water or salt-free organic chicken broth
INSTRUCTIONS
- Combine the chicken and water (or chicken broth) in the pressure cooker. Lock the lid in place. Cook at high pressure for 10 minutes.
- Quick release the pressure and remove the lid, tilting the pot away from you to avoid the escaping steam. Transfer the meat to a cutting board. Strain the cooking liquid through a fine-mesh sieve and reserve. Cut the meat from the bone, removing any gristle or fat.
- Put the chicken in a food processor with 2 tablespoons of the cooking liquid and process. With the machine running, add more liquid as needed, until the mixture begins to hold together. Stop the machine and test the consistency. Add more liquid if needed and process again.
- Cool the mixture completely. Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
