Curry chicken recipe for babies

Washington Post

CURRY CHICKEN FOR BABY

Makes ten 2-ounce servings

Use a mild curry powder for this dish, which is appropriate for babies 1 year old and up.

MAKE AHEAD: Cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. From Ryan Morgan, executive chef at Art and Soul restaurant in Washington.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

  • 1 tablespoon water

  • 1 tablespoon canola or grapeseed oil

  • 3/4 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into very small and thin strips

  • 1 medium zucchini, cut into small dice (1 cup)

  • 1/2 cup coconut milk

  • 1/2 cup vegetable or low-sodium chicken broth, preferably homemade

  • 1 teaspoon red curry paste or mild curry powder

  • 15 basil leaves, finely chopped (2 tablespoons)

    DIRECTIONS

    Combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl; mix well.

    Heat the oil in a wok or large saute pan over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers.

    Add the chicken and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes, until no trace of pink remains. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a plate.

    Add the zucchini, coconut milk, broth and curry paste or powder to the wok or saute pan; stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, for 6 to 7 minutes, until the zucchini is tender.

    Return the chicken to the wok or sauce pan, and add the basil and the cornstarch mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, for about 2 minutes, until the sauce has thickened. Let cool to lukewarm before serving, or cool thoroughly before storing.
