Mango & Chicken Soft Skewers

Ingredients

• 100g chicken breast
• 1/4 ripe mango (peeled, cut into spears)
• 1 teaspoon olive oil

Method

1. 01

   Cook chicken breast in olive oil over medium heat until fully cooked through. Cool slightly, then shred into long soft strips.

2. 02

   Peel ripe mango and cut into thick, soft spears (about the length of an adult finger).

3. 03

   Lay strips of shredded chicken alongside mango spears on a plate.

4. 04

   No skewers needed — serve chicken and mango side by side so baby can pick up each piece.

5. 05

   Ensure chicken is soft and juicy, not dry. Serve at room temperature.

How to offer

Place chicken strips and mango spears on the high chair tray. Always supervise baby during feeding. Mango spears are perfect for a 6-month-old palmar grasp. Ensure chicken is moist and shredded finely — never dry or stringy.

Storage

Refrigerate separately for up to 2 days. Best assembled fresh. Mango can be refrigerated cut for up to 2 days.

Nutrition note

Vitamins B6 and B12, iron, zinc, choline, selenium, and vitamin B3 are just a few of the elements found in chicken that babies require to survive. When taken as a whole, these nutrients support antioxidant functions, provide energy for cells, produce healthy blood, support a keen sense of taste and smell, and improve brain health.
