How to offer
Place a few chicken shreds on the high chair tray. The fibrous texture is easy for babies to gum. Supervise closely and ensure the chicken is moist enough — dry chicken can be a choking risk.
Storage
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator 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.
