We all know how important it is to pack our plates with veggies, but sometimes it can feel a bit repetitive. These delicious Curried Chicken Zucchini Boats use zucchini as the ‘boat’ base, meaning that you’re already getting a serve of vegetables before you’ve even added any additional ingredients. It’s genius!

This nifty twist on a traditional Italian themed meal is easy to prepare and can be  modified to suit your tastes and the ingredients you have available. Curried Chicken Zucchini Boats make the perfect lunch or light dinner when you’re trying to incorporate plenty of healthy meals into your day or taking part in the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge.

Try serving up these veggie-filled boats with brown rice or quinoa and a crisp green salad for a complete meal.
