Instructions
- 1
In a small saucepan, combine the chicken pieces and chicken broth. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked through and very tender.
- 2
While the chicken is cooking, steam the broccoli florets and sliced carrots until they are very soft and easily mashable. This might take 10-15 minutes, depending on the size of your pieces. You want them to be almost falling apart.
- 3
Carefully transfer the cooked chicken (and a little bit of the broth from the pan) along with the very soft broccoli and carrots into a blender or food processor.
- 4
Add the sea salt and optional fresh parsley.
- 5
Blend until completely smooth and creamy. If the puree is too thick, add a little more of the chicken broth (from the pan or fresh) until you reach your desired consistency. It should be a very smooth, pourable puree.
- 6
Serve warm.
