From one chicken: Peach Bean Stirfry

Rotisserie chickens stretch 4 dinners at my house.

After our first rotisserie chicken meal, I made a green bean and peach stir fry from 1/3 of the chicken. Alex doesn't like green beans, but I thought if I paired them with something he really liked (peaches) a winner would emerge.

In a large skillet

Heat skillet to medium heat with a few tablespoons of olive oil

To warmed oil add:

1 pepper cut into baby sized bites
1 peach with some of the skin cut off (if you are eating non-organic peaches I'd advise removing the skin or scrubbing them like they have the plague- because like non-organic grapes and apples these have really high pesticide loads)
1 sweet onion cut finely

While these were simmering I pulled the ugly bits from the ~3 c. green beans and washed the pretty parts.

Add

1/3 rotisserie chicken
3 cups of green beans

3 tablespoons of water

Cover and simmer until beans are the texture you prefer.

Leave a 1/4 of the total mixture in the pan and cook an addition 3-4 minutes until beans are softer than you would like, but easier for your little one. Beans will need to be cut into smaller pieces to serve.


For adult version:

Add soy sauce or ginger and soy sauce to taste

For baby version:

Add butter or additional olive oil. This meal is pretty light, so I added olive oil to give Alex a few more calories. If your baby does not eat little pieces of chicken puree the chicken with a little yogurt or yogurt and fruit.

Serve stirfry on a soft small pasta (or quinoa)- we used a multigrain pasta.

Alex still spit out a few green beans, but I think a few were gone by the time we finished our meal.

Maybe I didn't eat enough green beans while Alex was fetal.
