Baby Food Yellow Pepper Chicken Meatballs Cooking Steps
Prepare the ingredients.
Cut the chicken breast into small pieces. Chicken thighs with some fat will have a better taste.
Put the chicken and egg into a food processor and blend into chicken paste.
Add a little lemon juice (to remove the fishy smell).
Add a little salt (omit for children under 1 year old) and marinate for a while.
Cut the yellow pepper into small pieces. The size of the pieces can be adjusted according to personal preference.
Blanch the broccoli (for broccoli and cauliflower, whether steamed, boiled, or stir-fried, they should be blanched first).
Chop the broccoli into small pieces.
Add the vegetables to the chicken paste and mix well.
Add the flour in two portions. For moms who don’t like too much flour, you can reduce the amount by half.
Knead the mixture into small balls.
Method 1: Steam the meatballs over high heat for 15 minutes. This method is suitable for babies under 3 years old. The steamed chicken meatballs are tender and slightly bland, and can be eaten without much chewing ability.
Method 2: Preheat the oven and bake the meatballs at 180 degrees for about 15 minutes. This method is suitable for moms and children over 3 years old. The baked meatballs are slightly dry and have a firmer texture. They are more suitable for adults who need some chewing ability and are super low in fat, so you don’t have to worry about calories.
Dip the meatballs in tomato sauce when they come out of the oven. Moms can also make a sauce with vinegar to dip them in.
They are still very tempting. Many moms ask, how to store the leftovers? For meatballs like this, just freeze them and boil or steam them directly when you eat them next time. Be sure to steam them thoroughly.
