Summer time dinners are often made on the grill around my house.  For  those hot humid days I don't have much interest to fire up the oven. I tried some new meals from Velveeta  called Velveeta Cheesy Skillets. All you have to add is chicken or beef.  The box has the rest of the ingredients all packed inside. The Chicken and Broccoli skillet meal was tasty and easy to make. I added a bag of frozen broccoli instead of chicken . We had it as the main meal, but you could even serve this as a side dish. We also tried the Zesty Barbecue with Chicken meal. This skillet meal I did add chicken. These meals are easy to prepare, all in one skillet. Think of the time and clean up you save! You can go out for Ice Cream! Look for Velveeta Cheesy Skillet Meals at your grocery store and keep them on hand for those too hot to cook nights or any night!  Also available in Ultimate Cheeseburger Mac and Nacho Cheesy Skillets Dinner Kits.
