Eight Easy Gluten Free Dinner Options

Sharing is caring!

There’s a lot of buzz words floating around about nutrition lately, it seems. Gluten free, dairy free, whole 30, 21 day fix approved, paleo, clean, and the list goes on! My family has recently gone gluten free  for health reasons (you can read about that here) and I’ve had to adapt how I cook to accommodate our diet. Below are eight easy gluten-free dinner options to try – many are also dairy free, paleo, whole 30, 21DF approved, clean, or {insert another buzz word}.

Orange Chicken

Gluten Free Orange Chicken uses cornstarch to ‘bread’ the chicken to add that crunch that makes orange chicken delicious. Pair it with some stir-fried vegetables and (GF) brown rice. Yum.

A shortcut for this balsamic glaze is to buy a pre-made one. I love Trader Joe’s version!

Ground-Turkey-Sweet-Potato-Skillet

 Turkey and Sweet Potato Skillet

I make this skillet at least once every two weeks. I’m 50/50 on the cheese- sometimes I add it, sometimes I don’t. I think it’s delicious both ways. My only tip for this recipe is to have a very heavy hand on the spices.

Gluten-free-Green-White-Enchiladas-Recipe

Chicken Enchiladas

You have two options for the tortillas – you can use either corn tortillas (which are naturally gluten free, as long as the label says so) or gluten free flour tortillas. I prefer the flour, and my husband prefers the corn.

Chicken Parmesan Casserole

This recipe calls for corn based pasta, but I think you can use whichever gluten free option is your favorite – brown rice, quinoa, garbanzo bean, etc.

Oven-Baked-Italian-Meatballs

Oven Baked Meatballs and Marinara

These meatballs don’t use any binding like breadcrumbs or Panko. Sometimes I follow this recipe, and other times I will use gf oat bran as a binder. They both come out great! This recipe is paleo to boot, but feel free to add a pasta of your choice.

One-Pot-Gluten-Free-Mac-and-Cheese-iowagirleats-02

One Pot Macaroni and Cheese

Let me say this loud and clear – just because something is classified as ‘Gluten Free’ does not mean it is healthy! This one isn’t awful, as it uses skim milk and omits butter, but still. Mac and Cheese.

Gluten Free Mac and Cheese is as creamy and decadent as it comes! This one pot recipe is made from fridge and pantry staples in minutes.
