100 Baby-Led Weaning Recipes
Method
Lightly toast your bread so the bottom won't be soggy. Spread a thin layer of tomato
puree over the top. Cover with cheese. Bung under the grill until the cheese is melted
and bubbling. ALLOW TO COOL! Molten cheese has thermonuclear properties!
Cut your "pizza" into strips and serve!
68 Cornflaky Chicken
Ingredients
1 chicken breast, cut in finger size strips
1 egg
1 bowl crushed cornflakes
Optional tomato sauce:
1 can chopped tomatoes
Tbsp tomato puree
1/2 onion chopped
1 clove garlic (if your baby likes it!)
Method
Heat your oven to 180 C. Dip the strips of chicken in the egg, and then coat in the
crushed cornflakes, pressing firmly. Lay the strips on a rack over a baking tray or
roasting tin, and bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
You can allow the chicken to cool and serve it as is - I like them this way! However,
the cornflakes can be a bit scratchy, so you could try them with the tomato sauce - just
roll them in the sauce and allow to sit for a couple of minutes and the cornflakes will
go nicely soggy.
To make the sauce:
If you are using the garlic, chop finely and put in a cold pan with some oil. Bring to a
medium heat and allow to soften (starting the garlic in the cold oil helps prevent
burning). Add the chopped onion, and continue to saute until nice and soft. Stir in the
can of tomatoes and the tomato puree, and cook to a nice "mush".
