Super Delicious & Gluten-Free Meal Guide, Recipe Post #933: Gluten-Free Chicken Parmesan

Being gluten free means avoiding the consumption of any products containing gluten, which is typically found in wheat, barley and rye. Gluten free diets have become an increasingly popular lifestyle choice in recent years due to potential health benefits. Eating a gluten free diet requires avoiding many common food items such as bread, pasta, and wheat-based ingredients. Rather, there are a number of alternative grains and starches available such as rice, quinoa, tapioca and legumes that can still provide many essential vitamins and minerals. Doing so can reduce inflammation in the body, improve digestion, and lessen the risk for certain autoimmune diseases. In addition, gluten free foods are widely available, making it a convenient option for those trying to avoid it.
