4 Sizzling Skillet Dinners Ready in 15 Minutes or Less

On busy weeknights, you just don’t have time to whip up a full-blown dinner. The last thing that you want is for your busy schedule to derail your healthy eating plans. However, this is when the temptation to hit the drive-thru or order takeout is at the highest.

You still want delicious and healthful dinners—you just don’t want them to take an hour or more to make.

That’s what makes skillet dinners such a winner. And at Nutrisystem, we’ve simplified the process even further. Instead of having to buy and prepare all of the ingredients, we have everything ready to go in a perfectly portioned package.
