My favorite meal

Because we skipped rice cereal (which is fortified with iron), it was important to introduce meat early. The little man's first meat was chicken thigh, which I introduced at about 7 months. I found a great recipe in the book "Top 100 Baby Purees" by Annabel Karmel - it includes sweet potato and apple to increase the flavor and he ate it up. A lot of the mom's in my "mom's group" had trouble getting their little ones to eat meat but this recipe seemed to win a lot of them over. The below recipe has become a staple and I have done several variations, adding rice, substituting carrots for sweet potato, pears for apple, etc. When they are older, it is still a hit but with no puree-ing required.

Note - b/c I often cook once a week and freeze the majority of the food, I don't often list amounts for ingredients. It all depends on how much you want to make and often it is easy to eyeball the correct amount.

Butter
Onion
Chicken thighs - chopped
Sweet potato - peeled and chopped
Apple - peeled and chopped
Chicken stock - low sodium or half/half CS and water

Saute onion in butter, add chicken to saute for a few additional minutes until it looks opaque. Add sweet potato and apple and cover with chicken stock. Bring to a boil then cover and simmer until chicken is cooked through and sweet potato and apple are soft. Puree.
