📝 Editor's Note

This recipe can be easily adjusted for texture. For a smoother consistency, blend longer or add more water. Consider introducing this meal after your baby has tried chicken and cauliflower separately to ensure no allergies.

  • 1/2 cup cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1/4 cup barley
  • 1 cup cauliflower florets
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Rinse the barley under cold water.
  2. In a pot, combine barley and chicken broth, bring to a boil.
  3. Reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes until barley is tender.
  4. Meanwhile, steam the cauliflower florets until soft, about 10 minutes.
