Fussy Eater Trick - Peanut Butter on Toast with Hidden Chicken

My fussy eater, Mr 3, will usually only eat chicken in nugget form. After trying and repeatedly offering him roast chicken, chicken kebabs, chicken casserole, chicken meatballs, etc and being met with a firm NO, I decided that I'll experiment with hiding chicken in some of his favourite foods. 

So, after making a roast chicken for the rest of the family, I set aside a chunk of chicken from the breast and threw it into my mini blender. On top of the chicken, I threw a couple of dollops of peanut butter, one of Mr 3's favourite foods.

I gave it a good mix, making sure that there was little trace of the chicken evidence.

Once you have your spread ready, make a piece of toast, spread on the "peanut butter" and innocently offer your fussy eater a slice peanut butter on toast. Over the past couple of months, each time I make a roast for the family, I make "peanut butter on toast" for Mr 3 and (thankfully) he's eaten it every time.

It's a victory for me, as I've managed to get some chicken into his system that isn't of the nugget variety! While I will continue to offer him "honest" chicken meals, I know I can use this little trick to (unknowingly) broaden his eating horizons.
