Creamy chicken rice with peas and carrot
Soft rice cooked together with chicken and vegetables until creamy, so your baby can pick it up by hand or with a spoon. This is the stage of soft little pieces, and sticky rice helps bring everything to the mouth.

Ingredients
- 1 small chicken breast fillet (about 3 oz / 80 g)
- 3 tbsp uncooked white rice
- ½ small carrot
- 2 tbsp frozen peas
- ¼ onion, finely chopped
- a drizzle of olive oil
How to make
- 1Cut the chicken into ½-inch cubes and the carrot into smaller cubes.
- 2Sauté the onion in the olive oil, add the chicken and stir until white.
- 3Add the rice and carrot, cover with 2 cups of hot unsalted water and simmer over low heat, stirring now and then, for about 20 minutes.
- 4In the last 5 minutes, add the peas. Turn off the heat when the rice is very soft and creamy.
- 5Lightly mash the peas with a fork and check that the chicken falls apart between your fingers.
Tips
- Texture (9 to 11 months): rice well cooked and moist, chicken in soft little pieces. Peas always mashed, never whole.
- Finger food: let your baby grab the rice by hand. Getting messy is part of learning to eat.
- Storage: 2 days in the fridge or 30 days in the freezer. Add a little water when reheating.
