A nourishing, one-pot family favourite perfect for babies, toddlers and beyond<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is one of our go-to recipes when we want something easy, hands-off, and packed with flavour \u2013 whether we\u2019re home or out camping. It\u2019s the kind of dish you can throw together in baby\u2019s nap time, leave to cook low and slow, then come back to perfectly tender, shred-it-with-a-fork chicken. I find for me, doing the after school sports now, I rely on these meals I can pop on at lunch and have ready waiting for me when I get home with hangry children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also works beautifully over a campfire in a Dutch oven if you\u2019re a camper!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I prefer to cook this one in the oven<\/strong> as it gives more depth of flavour, but we\u2019ve included a slow cooker version<\/strong> too \u2013 with slightly less liquid, so it\u2019s not too watery at the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a great source of iron, easy to freeze, and works well for babies just starting out or toddlers going through a fussy phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
