- 1 small boneless skinless chicken breast
- 2 cups butternut squash, seeded, peeled and sliced into 2-3" strips (for finger food) or chopped (for puree)
- 1 1/2 cups cauliflower, florets
Preheat the oven to 400° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, tin foil or a silicone mat.
Place the cauliflower and butternut squash on the baking sheet. Place the chicken on a piece of tin foil and wrap up like a present, so no moisture can escape.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping vegetables halfway through baking time. The meal will be done with they can be pricked by a fork and the chicken is cooked all the way through.
For a Baby Food Puree – let cool slightly, chop chicken and then transfer all of the ingredients into a blender or food processor and puree for 1-2 minutes, adding water, broth, formula or breast milk in 1/4 cup increments if needed. I had to add in 1/2 cup of water to my puree.
To serve as a finger food or Baby-Led Weaning - let cool, slice chicken into long 2-3" strips and then place each ingredient onto on a plate and serve to baby.
Age: 6 months and up
Yield: 8 large baby-led weaning servings or roughly 20 ounces of puree.
Storage: Finger foods and purees can be stored in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. The puree can also be frozen for up to 4 months (this and this are my favorite freezer storage containers).
