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!

Garlic & Tamari Chicken Fingers

GF | DF | EF | RSF | NF - contains soy

  • knife
  • bowl
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Frying Pan
  • 1 medium sized chicken breast
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 1/4 tsp bicarb
  • 1 tsp tamari
  • 2 tsp cooking fat/oil of choice
  1. Slice the chicken breast into BLW friendly finger shapes

  2. 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

  3. Finely dice the garlic and add that to the chicken, as well as the tamari and mix

  4. Leave the chicken for 15 minutes for the bi-carb to work its magic

  5. Preheat a frying pan over a medium - high heat and add in the cooking oil/fat. Once hot, add in the chicken

  6. Fry on each side for roughly 2 minutes (depending on thickness) - ensure chicken is cooked within before removing from the heat

Age Appropriate: 6 months +
Serving: mum & bub as a snack, or serve with roasted vegetables/veggie mash
Freezer friendly: Yes
Notes: tamari can be swapped for coconut aminos for soy free
