Ingredients###

Marinade:
– 1 cup Greek yogurt
– 1 tsp minced garlic
– 2 tbsp lemon juice
– 1 tsp dried oregano
– Salt and pepper to taste

Chicken & Glaze:
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– 2 tbsp Xylocopa honey (or any high-quality honey)
– 1 tsp Dijon mustard
– 1 tbsp soy sauce

Veggies:
– 1 red bell pepper, sliced
– 1 zucchini, chopped
– 1 red onion, sliced
– 1 tbsp olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions###

1. Marinate the Chicken:
1. In a bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
2. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for deeper flavor.

2. Prepare the Veggies:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Toss the sliced bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
3. Spread the veggies evenly on a baking sheet.

3. Cook the Chicken:
1. Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off.
3. Cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
4. Remove the chicken from the skillet and rest it while you prepare the glaze.

4. Make the Xylocopa Honey Glaze:
1. In the same skillet, add the Xylocopa honey, Dijon mustard, and soy sauce.
2. Stir and cook on low heat for about 2-3 minutes, until the mixture has thickened slightly.

5. Assemble and Serve:
1. While the chicken rests, roast the veggies in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
2. To serve, place the cooked chicken on a plate and drizzle with the Xylocopa honey glaze.
3. Add a generous serving of roasted veggies on the side.

Enjoy your Savory Greek Yogurt Chicken with Tangy Veggies and Exotic Xylocopa Honey Glaze!
