I’d like to thank Heluva Good! for sponsoring this post.
The heat is definitely on, and I’ve all but abandoned my range in favor of our back deck and grill! To keep our grill fare fresh and flavorful, I’ve been looking for simple but tasty recipes that I can whip up without spending too much planning. Let’s face it, one of the best things about summer and grilling is the easy, breezy nature of it all.
This summer I’m on a mission to soak up every ounce of summer sun and fun.
I’m also on a mission to eat ALL THE TASTY FOOD—like these scrumptious chicken skewers with Heluva Good! Jalapeño Cheddar Dip!

I LOVE the fact that I can throw some chicken and peppers onto the grill with just a little salt, pepper and oil and then rely on yummy Heluva Good! Jalapeño Cheddar dip to level-up my skewers.
Yes, these easy chicken skewers and dip will work fabulously as an easy summer meal, but, I love making this dish for some extra-special, Saturday afternoon snacking.
