Chicken, carrot, potato and zucchini become a smooth vegetable-and-protein mash when each ingredient is fully cooked. Despite its name, this recipe contains no cereal grain.
Cook boneless chicken until its thickest part reaches 74°C (165°F) on a food thermometer.
Peel carrot and potato, chop them with zucchini into small pieces, and steam until every vegetable crushes easily.
Blend chicken and vegetables with safe cooking liquid until moist and spoonable, checking for fibrous meat pieces. Cool before serving.
Blend the cooked chicken finely with completely soft vegetables and add safe liquid if the mixture is thick. Check for tough meat fibres and firm carrot or potato pieces.
Smooth purée.
Mashed texture.
No major allergen is intentionally added; check any broth or optional ingredient separately.
