8 month old homemade baby food

So, I was looking on wholesomebabyfoods.com and was reading you can introduce things like chicken, pork, beans, tofu etc. My question is, maybe a stupid one, do you puree these items? We have the baby bullet. DD just cut her first 2 teeth over the weekend and will be 8 months next week, so she doesnt have teeth to chew. How did you prepare these foods for your baby? We already make her baby food and puree items such as carrots, sweet potato, etc.

ETA: What about things like cheese, pasta or quinoa?

I poached little pieces of chicken and shredded them with my fingers til they were like a powdery texture. I then added the chicken to either a fruit or veggie puree.
