Peel the pumpkin, cut it into small cubes, and place it in a steamer basket. Steam over low heat for 12 minutes, until soft enough to mash with a fork.
Boil the chicken breast in water with the lid on for 15 minutes, making sure no pink remains in the center.
Place the boiled pumpkin and chicken in a bowl, add the olive oil, and blend until smooth. Adjust the consistency with the cooking water as needed.
Divide the puree among ice cube trays and let cool. Once it reaches room temperature, it can be stored in the refrigerator for 2 days.

Tavuk göğsü yerine haşlanmış hindi filetosu kullandım, kıvamı aynı zeytinyağı miktarıyla tutturdum ve püre yine pürüzsüz çıktı. Bebeğim tavuğa henüz alışkın değildi, bu değişiklik iyi bir başlangıç oldu.
