Chicken, Sweet Potato and Thyme Puree

A cozy, silky mash that blends savory chicken with sweet potato and fragrant thyme, perfect for quick meals and baby-led weaning.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 8 oz boneless chicken thigh, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup brown/yellow onion, roughly chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 1/3 cups sweet potato, peeled and roughly chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 2/3 cup water
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat and sauté the 1/4 cup chopped onion and 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves for 4–5 minutes until the onion is translucent.
  2. Add the 8 oz cubed chicken thigh, 1 1/3 cups sweet potato, and 2/3 cup water; bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes until the sweet potato and chicken are cooked through.
  3. Remove the pan from heat and transfer contents to a blender or use an immersion blender; blend until you reach your desired consistency. Add extra water or a drizzle of olive oil to thin if needed.
  4. Taste and season with salt and pepper to your preference.
  5. Serve warm immediately, or cool completely before transferring to airtight containers for refrigeration or freezing.

Notes

For the silkiest texture, strain through a fine-mesh sieve after blending if serving to infants. Freezing in 1-cup portions is recommended for quick meals.
