Prayer for Motherhood

O good St Gerard, powerful intercessor before God and wonder worker of our day, confidently I call upon you and seek your aid.  On Earth you always fulfilled God's designs, help me now to do the holy will of God.  Implore the Master of Life, from whom all paternity proceeds, to render me fruitful in offspring, that I may raise up children to God in this life, and in the world to come, heirs to the Kingdom of His Glory.

Amen.

BARBECUED CHICKEN PIZZA

You can make pizza dough from scratch, but pre-baked pizza crusts are an easy and fast shortcut.

1 pound boned, skinned chicken breasts
1/3 cup prepared barbecue sauce
salt and pepper to taste
4 slices bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 baked pizza crusts (7 to 8 in., 5 oz. each)
1/4 cup cream cheese (2 oz.)
1/4 cup canned diced green chiles
1/2 cup shredded jack cheese
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoons hot chile flakes (optional)

Rinse chicken and pat dry. Place in an 8-inch baking pan and coat with about 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Bake in a 350  oven until no longer pink at the center of the thickest part (cut to test), about 20 minutes.  Let stand until cook enough to handle, the tear into bite-size chunks.  In a small bowl, mix with remaining barbecue sauce.

Meanwhile, in a 10 to 12 inch frying pan over high heat, stir bacon until browned and crisp, about 5 minutes.  Witha slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels to drain.

Place pizza crusts on a 12 by 15 inch baking sheet.  Spread each with about 2 tablespoons cream cheese.  Spoon chicken in sauce evenly over both crusts; top with bacon, green chiles, jack cheese and hot chili flakes.

Bake pizzas in a 400 oven until cheese is browned and bubbling, 15 to 20 minutes.  Transfer to a broad and cut into wedges.

Yield: makes two 8 inch pizzas; 2 or 3 servings
