Chicken and Veggie Medley
This is another one of my crock pot favorites because well, it's super easy to make and it's delicious. Once you are thinking about introducing meats, this is a great starter. I know of many people who will boil chicken for babies, but to me, this is even better because you don't lose as many nutrients in the process.
Ingredients:
6 chicken breasts
4 potatoes
6 carrots
3 head of broccoli
1 zucchini
Wash and peel all of your vegetables and cut them up. I kept the skin on the zucchini but washed it really well.
Here I used a crock pot liner, it's just nice to not have juices all over and the clean up is a piece of cake!
I scattered some potatoes on the bottom of the crock pot and placed the chicken on top of that. Lastly, I added the rest of the veggies. I didn't use any spices for the first few times I've made this, but now I will occasionally add a dash of the spices that we use.
I cook it on high for 4 or 6 hours, depending on how much time I have. I always check the temp on the inside of the chicken because chicken kind of grosses me out. Anyway, then you can blend as needed. I always use bottled water to dilute a bit, but that's because our tap water here is so hard. This will yield a lot, so make sure to have lots of containers handy. Also, since there's broccoli, it may get a bit stinky when re-heating.
