📝 Editor's Note

Ensure the chicken is fully cooked and tender for easy blending. This recipe can be adjusted by adding more liquid for a thinner consistency as your baby gets used to the texture.

  • 1 cup cooked lentils
  • 1/2 cup diced cooked chicken
  • 1/2 cup diced carrots
  • 1/2 cup diced potato
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the cooked chicken and sauté for 3-4 minutes until warmed through.
  3. Add the cooked lentils, carrots, and potato to the saucepan.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
  5. Cook for an additional 10-15 minutes until all ingredients are tender.
