Chicken breasts were the best buy last week at the market so they were the obvious main ingredient choice for Sunday's birthday party. The forecast for warm weather justified a cool main dish and the amount of people indicated that finger food was preferable. I always like dishes that can be prepared ahead, so on Saturday the chicken was cooked and shredded, the vegetables rinsed and chopped, and a spinach dip prepared. The pizza shells were baked the morning of the party and when cooled, were spread with the dip; chicken and vegetables were sprinkled over generously and the pizzas were placed in the refrigerator till right before the party. Cut into serving size squares and placed on a big platter, the pizza was attractive, colorful and even pretty healthy to boot. The adults raved and the kids never complained about the broccoli or the spinach. In fact, at day's end there were only three slices left!
