Tropical Chicken

(from cardsfan’s recipe box)

Note: I made this recipe for my son after he was 9 months. I did not blend it all. I just made sure the chicken pieces were small enough for him to chew and gave it to him. This is one of his favorite dishes and I always keep some on hand in the freezer for nights when we don’t have any appropriate food to give him from our plates. This also smells so good when it is cooking!
