Make your children eat dinner before going trick-or-treating so they will be less likely to stuff themselves with candy. Here's a dish that's fun and fits right in with the theme of the night.
Serve the chicken strips on a bed of rice. For added flavor, use Italian-seasoned bread crumbs.

Hands on time: 10 minutes  Total time: 20 minutes  Serves: 4

Ingredients:

    2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

    1 cup all-purpose flour

    2 egg whites, beaten

    1 cup dried bread crumbs

    1 (6-ounce) can black olives, pitted and drained

Instructions:

Preheat the broiler. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray. Slice the chicken breasts into strips about the width of one finger (don't worry about cutting them straight; the more crooked the better).
In separate bowls, place the flour, egg whites and bread crumbs. Dust the chicken strips with flour, dip them into egg whites and roll them in bread crumbs.
Place the strips on the baking sheet and broil for about 5 minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through. To make the witch's fingernails, cut the olives in half lengthwise. Trim the halves into pointy shapes and place on top of the chicken strips.
