Directions

Baby led weaning took a new turn that day when Issa grabbed a fork and tried to feed himself.

We make these chicken strips regularly and Issa loves them! They’re not even a little bit oily or greasy like deep fried or pan fried chicken. I made them again today as a quick dinner as I was strapped for time, with some cheese on the side, and ketchup to dip.

I love how we can get away with serving cheddar cheese cubes as a side dish for toddlers 😛
