Great recipe – the only way I’ve been able to get my 10 month old to eat chicken and broccoli.

made this today with quinoa. Big success (though to be honest, my 9mo hasn’t refused any food yet). The recipe makes heaps, so my bub has plenty of nutritious chicken dinners ahead of her. I’ve been looking for something without any carrot or sweet potato in it – bub has food with carrot in it at least twice a day and I’m not sure if I’m imagining it, but she is starting to look a little orange!
