Ingredients
- 2 cups pomegranate juice
- 2 skin-on boneless chicken breasts
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- 2 heirloom tomatoes, sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 8 ounces fresh buffalo mozzarella cheese, sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 10 to 12 fresh basil leaves
- 1/4 cup crushed pistachios
- Smoked sea salt
Instructions
- Bring the pomegranate juice to a simmer in a small pot over low heat, then cook until very syrupy, thick and reduced to about 1/4 to 1/2 cup, 30 to 40 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Sprinkle the chicken liberally with kosher salt and pepper on both sides. Heat the olive oil in a medium ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken in the skillet skin-side down; cook until the skin is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes.
- Slice the chicken 1/4 inch thick. Layer the tomatoes, chicken and mozzarella on a platter, tucking the basil leaves in between. Drizzle with the pomegranate reduction and sprinkle with the crushed pistachios. Sprinkle with smoked sea salt.

Reviews
I made this last night. It was quick and easy to make, and oh so delicious! This is definitely a keeper, will make this again!
Was quick an easy. I used my air fryer for chicken and substituted balsamic, because I didn’t have pomegranate. Love adding the chicken to make it a meal.
Delicious and easy to make!
