Why Gluten Free Dairy Free Chicken Recipes Can Still Rock

We have been eating gluten free dairy free for a long time–almost a decade–because of my son’s wheat allergy and dairy allergy. I’ve also known many friends with Celiac Disease that avoid dairy as well. These recipes can work for a bunch of people, and I say the more people included the better!

And, I personally know having to be gluten free dairy free doesn’t always make for an easy dinner option. Which is why I’ve curated a long list of dinner ideas for you. There’s everything from an easy recipe, to fancy, Asian, to Italian.

While all of them avoid gluten and dairy, none of them avoid flavor. They all have so much flavor! You’ll easily see why these are our favorite recipes we make in my own family on a regular rotation.

Each gluten free dairy free chicken recipe has a photo to show you what it will look like, and I’ve broken it down into the methods of cooking, to make it even simpler. Looking for gluten-free dinner recipes that uses the instant pot? Scroll to that section. Need a gluten-free chicken dinner recipe that uses the stove top (meaning it only uses the burners on your oven and you don’t have to bake anything)? Scroll to that section. This will become your number-one-go-to-source for making the best gluten-free dairy free chicken dinner whether it’s for you or a loved one.

I hope all of these various ways to make gluten free dairy free chicken dinners can give you plenty of options so you can enjoy a nice dinner rotation for all your family members to enjoy.

IMPORTANT FAQ’s ABOUT GLUTEN FREE DAIRY FREE CHICKEN RECIPES

  • If you don’t need them gluten-free–just dairy free–feel free to swap in regular flour or regular noodles into the various recipes without any problems.
  • When you find a recipe you want to try, to be taken to the recipe page, either click on the photograph, or the title of the recipe below the corresponding picture. And, if you don’t want to read the parts before the recipe card (although I really do try to add extra cooking tips specific to that recipe) you can click “jump to recipe” at the top of each individual recipe.
  • Since many recipes use gluten free dairy free chicken broth, many like to know what brand I use. I use Orrington Farms (unsponsored) chicken broth base, which is a delicious chicken bouillon you just add water to. I find this more flavorful than chicken stock, and that way you’re not lugging home cartons of liquid from the grocery store.
  • All of my recipes call for boneless, skinless chicken breasts, because that is what I prefer, but you are always welcome to swap it out for boneless skinless chicken thighs or chicken tenders.
  • You’ll notice that a few recipes are listed twice–that’s because some have double directions for both instant pot and slow cooker.
