I think I will use a chicken thigh next time for the iron (and taste - I'm partial to dark meat, too). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-meat-puree-how-do-ya-do-it#post-839549 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 11:13:21 +0000 lindseykaye 839549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I poached a chicken breast and used the liquid to puree it in the food processor. The meat still kind of separated out from the liquid afterwards so I also added rice cereal to bind it all and make it a little thicker.<br /> Then I froze it into cubes, and I pop one out and microwave it for a little bit to defrost it. You can serve it like this or mix it with some veggie puree (like sweet potato, carrot, or green beans). It is seriously LO's favorite dinner! And I feel like with the protien, rice cereal and veg it really is a complete meal :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-meat-puree-how-do-ya-do-it#post-839525 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 11:09:06 +0000 regberadaisy 839525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: if she's already had the veggies then I see no problems with adding it? She might also be more inclined to eat it if you put her favorite veg in? Dark meat has more iron than white meat. :) And I think it's more tender! But I'm partial to dark meat.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-meat-puree-how-do-ya-do-it#post-839521 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 11:08:23 +0000 travelgirl1 839521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: it will be the first time she's had it so are we okay to add veggies (that she's already had) or should we offer just chicken? Do you think the darker meat would be better than white? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-meat-puree-how-do-ya-do-it#post-839518 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 11:07:58 +0000 sunny 839518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made chicken soup and puréed that with no breast milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-meat-puree-how-do-ya-do-it#post-839503 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 11:04:10 +0000 MaisyMay 839503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cooked a bunch of chicken breasts in the crock pot for us and then pureed one in the blender for LO. You can also steam it. My little steamer will steam a piece of salmon in about 7 minutes, so chicken shouldn't take more than 10 or so. If you steam it, you can use the juice from that. My LO loves chicken. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-meat-puree-how-do-ya-do-it#post-839480 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 10:58:15 +0000 regberadaisy 839480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would roast it bc poaching would leech most of the "goodness" out of it into the water. If you roast maybe also add veggies and water then use the liquid in the bottom of the pan to puree?</p> <p>Or you can make chicken soup then use the broth to puree? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-meat-puree-how-do-ya-do-it#post-839464 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 10:54:58 +0000 travelgirl1 839464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It just sounds so gross! Right now I'm blending her solids with breast milk but chicken and breast milk doesn't sound good... Or maybe it will be like chicken soup?</p> <p>So I wanted to start with chicken. Which part of the chicken should I use? Should I roast? Poach? Is it really as grim as it sounds?</p> <p>I have to make a puree, DH is not on board with BLW. </p>
