Super Delicious & Gluten-Free Meal Guide, Recipe Post #304: Gluten-Free Salsa Verde Chicken Casserole

It’s becoming increasingly popular to adopt a gluten free diet. To be gluten free means consuming food and drinks that don’t contain any gluten, such as wheat, barley and rye. Foods such as cereals, bread, couscous, and some sauces typically contain gluten, so those following a gluten free diet must be mindful of what they are eating. Fortunately, there’s a wide selection of gluten free foods on offer, including fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds, eggs, meat, and dairy. There are also a number of fantastic alternative flours such as buckwheat, chickpea, teff, and quinoa which make baking more creative and enjoyable! Furthermore, studies suggest that staying away from gluten can improve digestion, reduce inflammation and improve your energy levels. All of these add to an overall healthier lifestyle.
