Ok, I was one of those insane mothers as my kiddo has never had commercial jarred food. I think Jackson might be a little young for poached chicken unless you puree it. Also meats can be a little bland. What I did when my little guy was around Jackson's age was poach chicken breasts, peas, carrots and puree with some of the poaching liquid. Voila! Baby chicken stew. Also meatballs were a huge hit forever. I used ground turkey, pureed sweet potato instead of egg and baby cereal if necessary. Then, and this is the important part, poach the meatballs in chicken broth. Before serving cut meatball up into tiny baby-sized pieces. Also be willing to try things that you personally hate. My kid loves tofu and it grosses me the heck out. I just sort of poach cubes of it in chicken broth and he gobbles it down. Also you can try sweet potato fries instead of mashed. The texture is different and its a good handhold for little ones.
