About the recipe

I love this trick, using bicarb for a tender meat BLW option for baby. Not only do they taste amazing, you can pair them with so many sides to make a meal for the rest of the family!

Method

Slice the chicken breast into BLW friendly finger shapes
Place the chicken into a bowl and sprinkle over the bicarb. Mix well to coat the chicken. NOTE: the bicarb is a trick which helps make the meat very tender & suitable for bub to break apart easily with their gums
Finely dice the garlic and add that to the chicken, as well as the tamari and mix
Leave the chicken for 15 minutes for the bi-carb to work its magic
Preheat a frying pan over a medium - high heat and add in the cooking oil/fat. Once hot, add in the chicken
Fry on each side for roughly 2 minutes (depending on thickness) - ensure chicken is cooked within before removing from the heat

Notes: tamari can be swapped for coconut aminos for soy free
