Satay Chicken

Satay Chicken is a delicious meal for the whole family to enjoy. It does contain peanuts as one of the main ingredients which is a top allergen, so we recommend first introducing your baby to peanuts on their own a few times before incorporating into a meal like this, however once your baby is ok with peanuts, this can be a great recipe to keep up exposure, which is really important for tolerance to the allergens. This recipe also incorporates fish sauce, which fish is another allergen. You can omit if your baby has not been introduced safely to both fish and peanuts atleast 3 times without any reaction.

If you are spoon feeding your baby, you can just use the satay sauce through a puree of choice, such as with root vegetables, mixed through rice or quinoa or buckwheat. You can also blend the chicken through for some extra iron and protein.
