Cut the zucchini into small cubes
Slice onion very finely
Peel kiwi and cut into small cubes (always ripe)
Take all ingredients out 20 min before (room temperature) Cutting board Paring knife Kitchen scale Mixing bowl Steamer pot CRITICAL: green bean strings are very fibrous CRITICAL: chicken cartilage is choking hazard Do not skip mincing chicken Pesticide residue on non-organic zucchini skin Do not add salt: baby's immature kidneys Always check chicken freshness Cut ALL pieces the same size for even cooking For 12-18 months: thinner pieces (0.8 cm) CRITICAL: REMOVE GREEN BEAN STRINGS CRITICAL: chicken must be finely minced Choose organic zucchini to keep skin (nutrients) Take out 30 min before for better incorporation 2
