When it comes to dinner time, following a paleo diet will not restrict your options too much. There are loads of delicious dinner recipes that you can make even if you are obeying this diet.

Bursting with flavors, this paleo chili recipe is filled with meat and vegetables, namely carrots, ground beef, and celery. Consequently, it’s sure to fill you up at dinner times.
One of the reasons why we love this recipe is that it has been perfectly seasoned. This is thanks to herbs and spices such as cumin, chili powder, and oregano. This gives the chili a rich and spicy taste.

The recipe creates a juicy chicken with crispy skin. This is the perfect texture for roast chicken. Not to mention, the recipe ensures that this succulent chicken is overwhelming with tantalizing tastes thanks to the use of garlic, lemon, and herbs.
Up next, these meatballs will give you a taste of Italian cuisine. Made with ground turkey and beef (see also ‘15 Awesome Paleo Ground Turkey Recipes To Try Today‘), these meatballs have been flawlessly seasoned.
One of the advantages of this recipe is that it can be made in a slow cooker (see also our favorite paleo crockpot recipes). Therefore, you can make it beforehand, saving you tons of time and effort. If you want a simple dinner, you should seriously consider making these marvelous meatballs.
A bowl of these Italian meatballs is filling enough that you can have it alone at dinner. However, if you want to transform this into a more substantial meal, you can serve the meatballs with cauliflower rice, potatoes, or zucchini noodles.

The majority of lasagne recipes are not suitable for people who follow the paleo diet. After all, lasagnas tend to be filled with cheese and often contain other dairy products, such as milk.
Yet, this clever lasagne recipe is completely paleo. This is because it avoids using pasta sheets (see also ‘15 Awesome Paleo Pasta Recipes For Paleo Lovers‘). It is instead filled with layers of vegetables, plus a tomato and beef sauce.
It’s worth making this dish ahead of time, as it can take a while to make. Yet, you can get a lot of portions out of this paleo lasagne, which is large enough to serve between 4 and 6 people.

This next paleo recipe uses the incredible idea of using lettuce to make wraps.
This recipe is great for lunch or dinner. To make it a more filling meal, you might want to pair these chicken and lettuce wraps with some potatoes or salad.
