How to puree chicken

[mistysj 1,939]

I don't know about you, but I was intimidated by the thought of pureeing chicken. Here is how I did it. It turned out great.

Ingredients:

4 chicken breasts, boneless skinless

2 cans or one carton chicken broth

Use a wide pan with a flat bottom and a lid, like a sauté pan. Place the chicken breasts in the pan. It's ok if it is a tight fit.

Use enough broth to just cover the meat.

Put the lid on and cook on the lowest heat that will produce a slow boil. Once you get to the slow boil, set your timer for 20 minutes. If the broth gets too low, add a bit more.

After 20 minutes the meat should be so tender it is falling apart.

Put one breast in the food processor with about 1/4 cup of the broth. Blitz until it is puréed. Check for chunks. Repeat with the remaining breasts. I recommend freezing the purée in 3.5 oz (100 gram) portions.

Microwave for 1 minute if you don't want it hot (like the pumpkin ricotta) or 2 minutes if you want it hot. To thaw the chicken on its own I would freeze it flat in a zip loc bag, and put the bag in cold Water for 15 minutes to thaw.

Pre op I loved cooking my chicken in the crock pot once per week with some type of marinade. I would put it in my pyrex and it would last me for the week where id just have to microwave it if I wanted it warm. From there I would think you would just need a nutribullet or food processor. I dont have a puree food phase but I think that would be the easiest way. My mom used to make my babyfood and she would just throw what everyone else was eating in the food processor.
