Wolfberry Chicken Porridge

What to cook for your baby if they are in between the porridge and rice phase?

For me, I have a 7 year old who likes porridge, and a 3 year old who likes rice - what a big headache at mealtimes! Thankfully, this recipe was well received by both.

I cooked this using a Thermomix, and the steps can be easily replicated by a regular stove as well. It's also a great way to use up some leftover rice. I hope you enjoy this recipe.
