This Pumpkin Chicken Baby Food Puree is a delicious fall inspired recipe for baby. Made with pumpkin, chicken, parsnips and ginger for a fun and nutritious take on the tastes of the season. Great for 6+ months – stage 2 baby food.

Pumpkin Chicken Baby Food Puree

Let’s make a deal. You can have this delicious Fall inspired pumpkin recipe, but in exchange I need something from you.

Isn’t that how all great friendships work – give and take. I would normally just invite you over for some coffee or wine and we would chat for hours, but seeing that you are there and I am here, I don’t think that would work out. But if you want to stop reading and grab that drink, I am certainly okay with that.

So let me talk up this recipe a little bit.

It starts by having us multi-tasking on the oven. Roasting the pumpkin, chicken and parsnip all at the same time, giving us some time to sit back and do our favorite momma activity – have a quick cap-nap, stare at a blank wall, drink another cup of coffee. The time is yours, use it wisely for something that isn’t on your to-do list.

After the roasting happens, the next steps are simple and painless. All you have to do is scape the warm pumpkin off the skin, dump everything into a blender and puree for a couple seconds. Then you are done. Check and check. A seasonal puree that is loaded with goodness through and through. A spicy, buttery puree that your little one will gobble up.

Now, what I need from you. Advice. That’s it. I wouldn’t ask for anything too big.

I need some advice on how to make time in my life for working out. It is just. not.happening! I feel like since the new baby came, I just can’t seem to find the time, energy or motivation to put on my gym clothes and get my sweet on. So let me ask you – how do you make time for yourself? How do you motivate yourself when the kids are down for naps and the only thing you want to do is take a long nap yourself? When do you workout? Morning or Night? What advice can you give me?

Go ahead and leave your comments below –  give it to me straight.

See that wasn’t such a bad trade!

Gul-khanum with pumpkin and chicken, step-by-step recipe for 1821 kcal, photo, ingredients

1 hour and 30 minutes

Recipe for:

12 pers. This is a kind of dumplings, only with an unusual molding method.

Original rose-shaped dumplings will decorate the festive table and surprise any guest first with their appearance and then with their inner content. They hide a lot of juicy and fragrant stuffing from chicken and pumpkin. You won’t even feel the taste of pumpkin, but it will give the meat juiciness and subtle sweetness.

And most importantly, making such roses is much faster than traditional dumplings, and steaming eliminates the possibility of falling apart and escaping juice.

Cook this dish at least once, and you will cook it again and again.

So, lightly beat the egg with a fork with salt (a teaspoon without top), stir with milk and water, add half the flour and add vegetable oil. Mix until smooth. Gradually add the rest of the flour. The dough turns out obedient, does not stick to hands. We collect it in a ball, wrap it in cling film and leave it for half an hour.


While the dough is resting, let's work on the filling. To do this, cut the chicken fillet into small cubes.


Peeled pumpkin also cut into small cubes.


Mix chopped pumpkin, chicken and herbs. In the original recipe, it was recommended to take a bunch of cilantro, I did not have it. I took half a bunch of parsley and dill.


Salt to taste and mix thoroughly by hand.


Now you can start forming the roses. Take a piece of dough a little larger than a walnut. We roll it into a rectangle about 5x20 cm. In the middle along the entire length of the rectangle, not reaching the edges, lay out the filling. There should be enough of it so that you can freely blind the edges of the strip.


Pinch along the larger side. We get a long and thin "sausage".
