Baby Food Green Lentils with Chicken & White Rice | 9 to 12 Months | 180g

Imagine a sunlit kitchen, the gentle bubbling of lentils on the stove as your little one plays with a spoon, eager to join your cooking ritual. With Hug in a Bowl’s Green Lentils with Chicken & White Rice, you’re offering more than a meal—it’s a bowl of nourishment crafted for tiny hands and curious palates. Tender Irish chicken breast mingles with earthy green lentils and fluffy basmati rice, while organic celery, onions, leek, and red peppers add a whisper of natural sweetness. Each spoonful balances creamy lentils, shredded chicken, and soft rice—perfect for babies aged 9 to 12 months mastering the art of chewing.

We simmer the chicken until it falls apart effortlessly, then fold in lentils simmered to buttery perfection. The veggies are steamed to retain their vibrant colors and nutrients, creating a dish that’s as visually inviting as it is nutritious. No salt, no shortcuts—just the pure essence of ingredients chosen to fuel first steps and big discoveries. And in 3 minutes, it’s ready to serve, giving you more time to savor those messy, triumphant mealtime giggles.

When your baby pats the tray for another bite, you’ll know they’re getting iron from lentils, protein from chicken, and a gentle introduction to family meals. Because even the simplest dishes can be packed with love.
