Super Delicious & Gluten-Free Meal Guide, Recipe Post #981: Gluten Free Chicken Alfredo Skillet

Gluten-free eating is becoming more popular and more widely accepted in mainstream cuisine. To be gluten-free simply means that you avoid foods containing wheat, barley, rye or other related grains, as well as any foods containing these ingredients. This drastically reduces your food choices, focusing your diet around fresh fruits and vegetables, and eliminating many processed and pre-packaged foods that might contain wheat, barley, or rye. Additionally, eating a gluten-free diet typically includes more lean proteins such as fish, poultry, and meats that have not been processed. Eating gluten-free can also provide additional health benefits by reducing inflammation, helping to maintain a healthy weight, and increasing energy. Going gluten-free can also help reduce indigestion and bloating, and help you feel your best!
