Gnarled Witches Fingers
From a collection of Halloween recipes at www.netins.net/showcase/medea/ hollow2.html.
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup bread crumbs
Pitted black olives, halved lengthwise
Shredded lettuce
Grease cookie sheet with oil; set aside. Carefully cut each chicken breast part way to create five “fingers” (the uncut part will be the palm of the hand). Slice a little crooked for effect. Dust in flour, dip in egg and coat in bread crumbs. Broil 5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Trim the tips with the olive “fingernails” and serve on lettuce.
