Gluten free dinners are much simpler to create if you base them on whole foods in this case vegetables and rice, paired with chicken with a few simple flavour additions and homemade satay sauce. Very few labels to read is always a winner.
ALWAYS check all ingredients suit your specific dietary needs.
ALWAYS be mindful of cross contamination from things like utensils, someone putting the knife that touched the gluten containing toast back into the peanut butter, cooking surfaces etc.
