One of the recipes that my friends and sisters have asked me the most to learn how to make them at home is a simple homemade chicken and vegetable potito recipeBecause they know there is nothing like homemade recipes to be sure that our children will eat well. Prepare a good bib because with the first purees they usually get very dirty.
Today we are going to prepare a delicious chicken and vegetable puree, either to make with a traditional pan and blender system or to make with Thermomix or any other kitchen robot, in case you have it at home. As for the final texture, in this case we have left the mash with a rustic touch, without crushing it to the fullest so that the children already begin to notice its texture and train the chewing, but if you want it as a cream, there is only crush it longer and / or pass it through a sieve. Let's go to the kitchen.
Ingredients to make 2 jars of potito
- 1/2 chicken breast in steaks, 1 large potato, 1/2 zucchini, 1 carrot, water, salt and virgin olive oil
How to make a baby chicken and vegetable pot
Peel the potato and zucchini. If we are going to do the traditional preparation, we put water to cook and we throw the potato cut into irregular pieces, regardless of the size because later we will crush them. When they have been cooking for 15 minutes, add the sliced zucchini.
You can also use other vegetables such as carrot, leek or tomato and the potito will be equally delicious. When the potatoes take approximately 20 minutes of cooking we will add the meat. As the breast is cooked in a very short time it will be enough to add the chicken fillets at the last moment to cook for about 5 minutes at the end of cooking vegetables.
Once the cooking is finished, we pass the vegetables and the breast to the glass of a blender and we crush it. Save the cooking water in case you have to add a little to facilitate crushing in case we have become too thick. Once crushed, we pass the pot to a saucepan where we will have it ready to heat and give it to our children.
If you are going to do it using a kitchen robot, we chop the vegetables and put them in the glass. We close and shred at maximum speed for a few seconds. Then we lower the remains that have been left on the edges and cover with a little water, just to cover. We cook at 100º for 15 minutes at speed 1 or spoon speed. Add the chicken breast and cook another 5 minutes. When finished, we crush with the turbo.

Tasting and conservation
Chicken and vegetable pots for children They are richer if consumed at the moment or in a few days. If you want to keep the pot or make more quantity for several days, you must sterilize the jars where you are going to store them. Once filled, close them tightly and cook them in the water bath closed for about 15 minutes to make the vacuum. Then consume them in the coming weeks, since these homemade products have no preservatives or additives.
