Chicken and Rice Delight

This recipe is an alternative to jarred “meat and rice” meals. It is easy to prepare your own, and leftovers can be frozen and kept for a later date. Either brown or white rice can be used, depending on what you have available.

Ingredients

1⁄2 cup ( 125 mL) diced cooked boneless skinless chicken
1⁄4 cup (50 mL) cooked brown rice
1 peach, peeled and diced
2 tbsp (25 mL) 2% milk

Directions

In a food processor or using a handheld blender, purée chicken, rice, peach and milk to desired texture.

Makes 3⁄4 cup (175 mL)
6 to 8 months

Kitchen Tip

A ripe peach can be peeled and used raw in this recipe. For under-ripe peaches, simmer in a small amount of boiling water until tender.

Hi, I heard that it is not advisable for babies under 12 months to have cow's milk. Instead of the 2% milk, is it okay to use my baby's formula instead?Thanks
