This recipe was inspired one evening when concocting homemade baby food for my son. After sampling a chicken and apple blend- I thought why haven't I ever eaten these two together before? This recipe adds ginger for a zesty compliment to the sweetness of the apples, along with a medley of other 'sweet' veggies. Low fat, healthy and delicious. Ingredients:
2 small chicken breasts, cubed (or 1 breast and 1 deboned thigh) |
1 large apple |
1 medium carrot |
1 small sweet potatoes or 1 small yam |
1 medium potato |
1/2 cup butternut squash, cubed |
1/2 small onion, diced |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1/4 cup water |
1/4 cup apple juice |
1/4 cup milk |
2 teaspoons cornstarch |
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger |
2 garlic cloves |
