31 days of Halloween

Scary Chicken and rice dinner.

This is so fun to make for dinner around Halloween.

To make the pumpkin chicken breast, I put 2 breast into a Ziploc bag and add 15 drops of orange food coloring.  Zip the bag closed and moosh it all around until the chicken is coated.  For the Bat chicken do the same thing but with 20 drops of black food coloring.  (if you use to little your chicken will come out looking a little more green than black).

Now Bake, broil or zip 'n steam your chicken!

WORD TO THE WISE: If you zip 'n steam your chicken in the microwave, be ready with a damp cloth to wipe up the black or orange residue from your microwaves steam bath!

I used cheese to make the eyes and mouth of the pumpkin and apple for the bat.

To make the wings out of apple just use a few drops of black food coloring and color the wings as we did the chicken.  It works better if you use a napkin to dry off your apple pieces first.

I serve my chicken over green colored rice, but have also served it with spaghetti.

To make a skull and a ghost no food coloring is needed.  I used colored apple again here for the faces.

My favorite is a spider, a little more fun and of course the picture that did not turn out.

To make: follow the instructions for the bat, to make the legs take a few spaghetti noodles and break in half and place in hot water just until they will bend but are still firm.  Color carefully in a bag so they don't break, and add them to the side of your black chicken.  I will try to make one in the next little while and add to this post later. 

This is a really fun dish to serve when guest come over.  The looks on their faces will be priceless!
