Caprese Chicken with Pomegranate Glaze 

Total: 1 hr 45 min (includes cooling time)
 Active: 30 min 
Yield: 4 servings Level: Easy
Ingredients: 
2 cups pomegranate juice 
2 boneless, skin-on chicken breasts 
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
 2 heirloom tomatoes, sliced 1/4-inch-thick 8 ounces 
fresh buffalo mozzarella, sliced 1/4- inch-thick
 1/4 cup crushed pistachios
 Fresh basil leaves (baby leaves work best), for garnish
 Smoked sea salt, for finishing
Directions: Bring pomegranate juice to a simmer in a small pot over low heat, then let cook until very syrupy, thick and reduced to about 1/2 cup, 30 to 40 minutes. Set aside to cool. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Sprinkle chicken breasts liberally with kosher salt and pepper on both sides. Add oil to a medium ovenproof skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Place the chicken in the skillet skin-side down and cook until the skin is nice and golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Transfer skillet to the oven and roast until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, 10 to 12 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes. Slice the cooked chicken breast 1/4-inch-thick. Layer tomatoes, chicken and mozzarella in an elegant row on a long platter. Drizzle with pomegranate reduction, sprinkle with crushed pistachios, scatter basil leaves around and sprinkle with some smoked sea salt.

Prayers  
The President and his family, and the administration, for protection and godly counsel! I am praying Trump will go ahead and side step Congress to secure  our borders

Pray against all division in our nation, that harmony and peace will reign supreme throughout the land.  Also, pray that  the Justice system will work properly  and investigate and convict  those who need to be held accountable for  their acts against our nation

For the God's will to work its way through our Congress to promote a healing and a functioning environment

Pray against delusion and lies of the enemy, protect the hearts and minds of the young!

Pray that pastors across the nation are renewed and re edified to preach the gospel using the whole counsel of God...  Let no personal kingdom or agenda sidestep the work of the Spirit in the church!

Please, God, take back our institutions of higher learning

Pray for the sick that they might be healed

Pray for the peace and harmony of Jerusalem ...also pray God's favor over Bibi Netanyahu Tuesday  that he will be re-elected

Pray that the light of Christ will shine boldly through His people and everyone is establishing within their own hearts the manner in which to live for Him in 2019

Pray for our service men and women overseas who put their life on the line everyday to protect our freedoms. I lift up particularly my own sweet cousin Josh.... Please add in the comments other names you would like named here!!

Pray for the lost who are bewildered and lost... they are hopeless in need of a loving savior!
