Steps
Wash the broccoli florets thoroughly and cut them into small, manageable pieces for a toddler.
Steam the broccoli for about 5-7 minutes until tender but not mushy. Set aside to cool slightly.
Dice the chicken breast into very small cubes suitable for finger feeding.
Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken cubes and a pinch of garlic powder.
Sauté the chicken for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and no longer pink in the middle.
Slice half a banana into rounds to serve alongside the meal.
Arrange the steamed broccoli, sautéed chicken, and banana slices on a baby-safe plate and serve at room temperature.
Notes
Ensure all food is cut into appropriate sizes to prevent choking. You can substitute the banana with other iron-absorption-aiding fruits like strawberries or oranges.
