Healthy Meal-Sweet potaoes + Broccli + chicken

It's Sunday, Autumn and i are spending the whole day together. It is also the one and only chance a week that i can prepare lunch and dinner for her.
In school, they always feed her with porridge. So, i basically don't like cooking any rice for her during weekends.
I would try my best to put everything as nutritious as possible for her.
Let me share with you guys what did i cook for her.
The ingredients are very simple as follows:


Chicken Breast (or any chicken parts will do), but breast meat is definitely easier for babies food.


Broccoli, a very good source of high Vitamin C, Vitamin K & A as well as dietary fibre it also contains multiple nutrients with potent anti-cancerproperties.

Sweet potatoes, is also very high in Vitamin Aand C, fibre, protein and Sodium. They are more nutritious if cooked in their skin, but in order to avoid Autumn spitting out the sweet potatoes, I peeled off the skin.

Both the broccoli and sweet potatoes are being chopped into very tiny pieces so that it will take shorter cooking time (the benefits of broccoli are greatly reduced if the vegetable is boiled more than ten minutes).

Minced chicken lying on the chopping board.


Autumn waiting impatiently for her food.

Pour in the sweet potatoes and broccoli slices when the water is boiling.

Stir it.

When the bocolli and sweet potatoes are soft, add in the minced chicken and stir again. When it is boiling again, switch of the cooker, and cover up the pot. So it will be softer and easier for consumption.

Ready for consumption!!

Hmmmm.... "Yummy! Good! Nice!" said Autumn after i fed her the first sip.
It was easy to prepare but very healthy recipe for babies, especially in solving constipation problem.
