Dinner meals can be tough to put on the table, add in being gluten free and it becomes increasingly difficult. This is why I say we need to take it a bite at a time! Instead of cooking a week’s worth of meals, cook 2-3 days. This will take less time and allow you to change meals around if you get bored. Tonight we prepared 3 gluten free meals that can be ready in less than an hour.
Appliances
Instant Pot
Griddle
Freezer bag
The Big Theee
Gluten Free Pasta with turkey meat
Gluten Free Philly Cheese Steak (this is low carb as well)
Grilled Chicken with Sweet Potatoes and Salad
Grilled Chicken and Sweet Potatoes
2 pounds Grilled chicken, sliced thin
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
Salt and pepper
1 Bag salad
Olive oil
First, let’s prepare our chicken. We will season chicken with salt and pepper and place on a preheated griddle cooking about 5 minutes on each side. While your chicken is cooking cube your sweet potatoes and drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper. Place in a preheated 425 degree oven for 15- 20 minutes.
Add a bag salad to this dish (which I always keep on hand) and you have a complete healthy gluten free meal ready for yourself in less than 30 minutes.
