When to introduce
Chicken can be offered to babies as soon as they’re ready to start solids, usually around 6 months. It’s important to remember that your baby is unique and that rather than going by the calendar, you need to make sure your baby is DEVELOPMENTALLY ready to start solids.
If you’re unsure, be sure to grab my FREE handout!
Health benefits
Just like with beef, chicken is an excellent source of iron, arguably THE most important nutrient for babies. It's also a great source of (highlighting a few):
- Zinc - Necessary for making protein and DNA, aids in immune function and cognition
- Choline, vitamins B6 and B12 - Important for optimal brain development, metabolism and maintaining a healthy nervous system.
- High-quality protein - Chicken contains all the essential amino acids, or building blocks, of protein that are necessary for our babies to grow and thrive!

Is chicken safe for babies?
First, I want to reassure you that babies do NOT need teeth to eat meat or any other finger food for that matter. You’ll be amazed by how strong and capable their gums are! Will your baby gag? Most likely, just like with any food, even purées! And this is actually a good thing!
I discuss more in this post - how to start baby led weaning.
However, you need to make sure chicken is cooked properly and served in an age-appropriate way.
I highly encourage you to Invest in a good meat thermometer so you can check the internal temperature for not only chicken but any meat/poultry.
Chicken is safe to eat when its juices run clear, the inside is no longer pink (although sometimes it can still have a pinkish tint), and the thickest part of the meat reaches at least 165° Fahrenheit.
How to serve the right size and texture
Top 4 Cooking Methods
Here are the top ways to prepare chicken, including the cooking times. I am specifically showing you how to cook chicken breast, as it is the most difficult cut to cook properly. Say no more to dry, tough meat.
Important tip: To avoid overcooking and uneven cooking, take the chicken out 30 minutes before cooking. Don't worry. It can safely sit on the countertop for up to 2 hours (or 1 hour if inside temperature is above 90°F). Otherwise, if you cook an ice cold piece of chicken, the outside will dry out before the inside gets fully cooked.
Poaching
In a pot, place the chicken breasts in a single layer. Cover with water or broth. You can add some herbs or a bay leaf.
Bring to a boil, then quickly reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Make sure the thickest part of the meat reads 165°F.
Roasting (with a twist!)
Juicy, tender, flavorful chicken breast - here we go!
If you haven't tried steam roasting yet, you MUST! Here's an in-depth explanation of this cooking method.
It's seriously the BEST way to cook meat/poultry and vegetables for babies and toddlers!
Not only will it save you time and energy but it will also result in that perfectly safe texture for babies.
steam roasted chicken seasoned with curry powderAnother big advantage of this method is that you can season your chicken for extra flavor before putting it in the oven. I actually prefer this over poaching.
Simply add the chicken (seasoned or not) to a baking dish, cover, and allow for it to bake in its own juices!
Marinate with yogurt
I know it may sound strange BUT this method of cooking is AH-MAZING! Be sure to give it a try!
Instant Pot or Pressure Cooker
Add water to the IP, insert trivet, and add chicken.
Cook on high pressure for 8-10 minutes. Once it beeps, wait 5 minutes then release pressure.
How to Serve for Baby Led Weaning
Cook the chicken using any of the methods above or try my recipes that your ENTIRE family can enjoy together (sharing below). Then make modifications according to your baby's age.
6-8 months baby
Chicken puree - Cook chicken and blend with broth, water, or breastmilk. Serve on its own or mixed with veggies. And don't forget to add seasonings.
Do keep in mind, it’s important to move forward with texture by 9 months at the latest. Here’s how to transition baby from puree to table food.
These are actual meals I served to my babyServe as a finger food - Big strips (1-2 inch wide), drumstick, a whole meatball are all great!
I know this might sound counterintuitive, BUT bigger is better and safer for this age! Your baby will grab with their palm and suck on the juices, which is wonderful! Your baby is getting exposed to flavor, texture, and iron.
These are my top meatball recipes. You can easily substitute with ground chicken
- Asian Turkey Rice Meatballs
- Butternut squash baby beef meatballs
- Baked quinoa and mushroom meatballs
- Turkey beet meatballs
Finely chopped/minced - If you are anxious about serving a large piece, then go really small. You can do this by hand or I like to use this mini manual food chopper!
And then the sky’s the limit! Add to oatmeal, lentils, pasta, mashed avocado, etc.
8-12 months old baby
Once your baby is able to tear or break off a large chunk of meat, it is no longer safe. Go smaller by serving thinner strips (about the size of your pinky finger) or shred.
12+ months
served with broccoli hummus, naan, steam roasted broccoli and carrotsAt this age, you can cut into bite-sized pieces, making sure they are not cubed. Also, encourage the use of utensils by providing them with plenty of opportunities to practice.
Be consistent and patient as it's a skill that takes a while to master.
Frequently Asked Questions
What part of chicken is good for babies?
Both dark and white meat are excellent! Dark meat does have a higher fat content, though, which helps keep the meat juicy and tender. But by following the cooking instructions I shared above, chicken breast can also provide a great flavor and texture experience for your baby.
Can you season for babies?
Absolutely! I highly advise you to have fun with all kinds of herbs and spices! It's such an easy way to invite variety and flavor, without the use of salt.
How to store cooked chicken?
You can slice, shred, and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months
How do I reheat?
I've found that the best way is on the stove.
Add enough water (or broth) to a skillet over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Add chicken, cover, and cook until warmed through.
How do I freeze?
Transfer to a freezer safe bag or container. I recommend freezing in individual portions. It will keep for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight.

Poaching chicken
Place chicken in a pot and cover with water.
If cooking more than one breast, make sure to place them in a single layer.Bring water to a boil. Quickly reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 10-15 minutes. It's done when the thickest part of the meat reaches 165°F.
Steam Roasting Chicken

Instant Pot Chicken
Place inner pot into the IP and pour 1 cup of water or broth. Place the trivet and place chicken (seasoned or not) on top of the trivet in a single layer. Close the lid.
Make sure valve is set to sealing. Pressure cook on high for 8-10 minutes.
When it beeps, allow the IP to release naturally for 5 minutes then quick release remaining pressure.
Insert a thermometer and make sure the thickest part of the chicken reads 165°F. If not, secure the lid and cook for an additional 2-5 minutes on high pressure.
Tip: save the liquid for homemade chicken broth! If you want to shred, leave about ½ cup liquid at the bottom of the pot, place chicken back in and shred.
- For all of these cooking methods, take the chicken out 30 minutes before cooking.
- Once done cooking, let it rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.
- You can slice, shred, and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months

Chicken for Babies - First Foods for Baby
When can babies eat chicken?
Chicken may be introduced as soon as a baby is ready to start solids, which is generally around 6 months of age.
Need ideas for the best first foods for babies? See our guides.
History and uses of chicken
Thousands of years ago, humans domesticated a scrawny fowl that had been running wild in the jungles of South Asia since prehistoric times. From that agricultural innovation came the bird we know and love today. In our modern era, 50 billion chickens are raised as a source of meat and eggs each year. How did the scrappy junglefowl become one of the world’s most consumed proteins? A mix of technological, cultural, and historical forces over centuries have helped ensure a chicken in every pot. Genetic and agricultural strategies have turned the lean-and-mean bird into plump poultry with maximized egg production. These efforts continue today, with lab-grown meat that is spurring conversation around ethics, sustainability, health, and the future of the bird.
Almost the entire chicken can be used to cook delicious dishes, from pâtés of iron-rich chicken liver; to protein-packed stocks filled with collagen from the carcass, feet, and head; to schmaltz, a flavorful fat extracted from the skin.
Introducing chicken to babies can be as easy as passing a drumstick—a terrific shape to hold and munch.
Is chicken healthy for babies?
Yes. Chicken contains many nutrients that babies need to thrive, including vitamins B6 and B12, iron, zinc, choline, selenium, and vitamin B3. Together, these nutrients help support antioxidant activities, fuel cell energy, create healthy blood, promote a strong sense of taste and smell, and boost brain health. Chicken is also a great source of protein, with the full spectrum of amino acids that help develop a growing baby’s brain, muscles, nervous system, heart, skin, and hair.
There are many labels for chicken. Free-range, organic, vegetarian-fed, cage-free, pasture-raised… What do they mean, and which one is best? Labels can help consumers, but sometimes they can be misleading.
Some chickens are “vegetarian-fed”, which suggests a certain quality, but the label often means the birds are eating commodity grains like corn and soy. “Free-range” and “cage-free” chickens have access to the outdoors where they can eat a more natural diet of worms and bugs in addition to plant-based foods. Unfortunately, outdoor space is often limited, and many birds do not venture outside; instead, they remain in their (often overcrowded) grow houses where they eat commodity grains. Even “organic” chickens are not necessarily raised outdoors on a natural diet, though the animals are fed food that has been certified as organic.
Chickens raised on pastures have more nutrients, fewer additives, fewer toxins, and fewer pesticides than chickens raised indoors on grains.1 2 The downside is that pasture-raised chicken can be prohibitively expensive.
Bottom line: chicken delivers plenty of nutrients to nourish a growing baby. No label is perfect so do what you can with the resources available to you—and if you’d like, learn more about where and how the bird was raised.
★Tip: Chicken is often associated with food-borne illness from bacteria like Salmonella and Campylobacter.3 Take the appropriate precautions can minimize the risk: Keep chicken in the refrigerator or freezer—and store it separately from produce. Thaw frozen meat in the refrigerator (never on the counter) and cook chicken to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius) before serving. Always wash your hands and surfaces that come in contact with the raw meat.
Can babies eat chicken nuggets?
It’s our opinion that it is best to hold off on serving chicken nuggets due to the high sodium content. After 12 months of age, chicken nuggets are fine in moderation though it would be best to only serve on occasion as they are usually highly processed with high amounts of sodium.
Is chicken a common choking hazard for babies?
Yes. Like all meat and poultry, chicken is a choking hazard, so avoid offering large chunks or cubes to babies.
To minimize the risk, refrain from cutting chicken in cubes and instead follow our age-appropriate guidelines. Also, be sure not to overcook chicken as this causes it to be dry and more challenging to chew and swallow. As always, make sure to create a safe eating environment and stay within arm’s reach of baby during meals.
For more information on choking, visit our section on gagging and choking and familiarize yourself with the list of common choking hazards.
Is chicken a common allergen?
No. Chicken is not a common food allergen. However, cases of poultry allergy have been reported.4 5 Chicken has been reported as a trigger for FPIES (Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome), which results in delayed vomiting with or without diarrhea 2 to 4 hours after the ingestion of chicken meat. While rare, certain individuals with fish allergies may have an increased risk of being sensitive to chicken.6 Some individuals with known allergy to feather and egg also have positive allergy test results to chicken meat.
7 However, this does not commonly result in symptoms after the ingestion of well-cooked meat, as the allergenic protein is heat sensitive. Therefore, routine testing for chicken meat allergy is not recommended in cases of egg allergy.
As you would when introducing any new food, start by offering a small quantity during the first couple of servings. If there is no adverse reaction, gradually increase the amount over future meals.
How do you prepare chicken for babies with baby-led weaning?
Every baby develops on their own timeline, and the suggestions on how to cut or prepare particular foods are generalizations for a broad audience. Your child is an individual and may have needs or considerations beyond generally accepted practices. In determining the recommendations for size and shape of foods, we use the best available scientific information regarding gross, fine, and oral motor development to minimize choking risk. The preparation suggestions we offer are for informational purposes only and are not a substitute for child-specific, one-on-one advice from your pediatric medical or health professional or provider.
It is impossible to fully eliminate all risk of a baby or child choking on any liquid, puree, or food. We advise you to follow all safety protocols we suggest to create a safe eating environment and to make educated choices for your child regarding their specific needs. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read or seen here.
6 to 9 months old: Go big! Serve a whole drumstick with the skin and any loose cartilage, pin bones, and fat removed. Babies love to pick up and munch on drumsticks—and it is fantastic for oral-motor skills. Baby will not likely consume much, and this is okay. If a too-big piece of meat is torn off, give baby time to work with the food before intervening. Babies have innate reflexes to help push food forward and spit it out before it gets far enough back to cause choking. Also keep in mind that chicken drumsticks, depending on how they’re cooked, can become brittle and easily breakable, especially at the edges.
Cooking chicken for longer periods of time at lower temperatures can help prevent the bones from becoming brittle. We strongly recommend checking and testing the bone prior to offering by trying to bend it and pushing on the edges. Strong, firm bones are the way to go. If the bone breaks easily, crumbles at the edges, or splinters, the risk for bone to break off in baby’s mouth increases. In addition to drumsticks, you can serve chicken breast sliced into strips about the size of two adult fingers pressed together. Once a baby is able to bite and tear food (around 8 to 9 months of age), try serving thinner slices—about the size of an adult pinky finger. You can also serve ground chicken meatballs or meatloaf at this age as ground meats are soft and easy to mash with gums.
9 to 12 months old: Finely shred or slice chicken into very thin strips or offer ground chicken sprinkled on veggies, pasta, or any other dish. At this age, babies can get ambitious and start stuffing and shoveling food in their mouths.
While a good learning experience, it can be quite stressful. Nervous? Shred the meat to minimize the risk.
12 to 24 months old: Offer bite-sized pieces of chicken as finger food or let the toddler practice with a utensil. To reduce the risk of choking, refrain from offering chunks of chicken or serving perfectly sized cubes. When you feel a child’s eating skills have developed, increase the size of food by serving a whole drumstick with the skin, pin bones, and loose cartilage or fat removed.

Recipe: Simple Roast Chicken
Yield: 3 cups (420 grams)
Cooking Time: 1 hour
Age: 6 months+
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) olive oil, separated
- 2 teaspoon (2 grams) dried oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage, or thyme (optional)
- 3 cups (450 grams) carrots, parsnips, potatoes, or root vegetables of choice (optional)
Directions
- If you are starting with frozen chicken, transfer the meat to the refrigerator to thaw the day before you plan to cook.
- Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (205 degrees Celsius).
- Remove any giblets from the inside of the chicken and reserve for another use. Season the chicken with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the herbs.
- Wash, dry, peel, and cut the root vegetables into spears.
- Transfer the vegetables to a roasting pan. Coat with the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil.
- Place the chicken on top of the vegetables.
- Roast until the chicken skin is golden brown, between 45 and 60 minutes. Use a kitchen thermometer to measure the chicken’s internal temperature in the thickest part of the thigh: the chicken is done when the temperature has reached 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
- Remove the pan from the oven. Use tongs to tilt the chicken in the pan to drain the juices in the cavity. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board. Let the chicken rest for 15 minutes.
- Carve the chicken into parts—drumstick, thigh, and breast. Save the carcass and bones to make chicken stock.
- Remove the skin and any loose meat or cartilage from the child’s portion and cut into age-appropriate sizes. Cool the meat to room temperature before serving.
- Serve: Let baby self-feed with hands. If help is needed, pass a drumstick in the air for them to grab from you or remove the meat from the bones and shred.
To Store: Cooked chicken keeps in an air-tight container in the fridge for 3 days or in the freezer for 4 months. Store the carcass in an air-tight container in freezer to use at a later date to make chicken stock.

Flavor Pairings
Chicken is versatile! The plain meat pairs just as well with rich, fatty foods like almond, avocado, butter, cashew, coconut, peanut butter, pistachio, and yogurt as with nutrient-packed vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, carrot, pumpkin, purple potato, and sweet potato and leafy greens like bok choy, collard greens, kale, and spinach.
Try serving chicken alongside nutty grains like freekeh, Khorasan wheat, quinoa, and rice and mixing in fruits like apple, pear, pomegranate, or pineapple to bring out its sweetness. Chicken can taste pretty mild, so try seasoning the meat with garlic, lemon, or aromatics and herbs like achiote, lemongrass, saffron, and thyme to add layers of flavor.

Levchuk Victoria © Levchuk Victoria ©Carrots with chicken is a very easy recipe, and since children can rarely eat boiled carrots, you can cook this dish once a week as minimum. You can take pieces of fillet, but it turns out dry meat and it is difficult to chew, and if you take minced chicken and make meatballs, the child will like it more. We try, the combination of carrots and chicken is simply delicious.
