Depending on how many people you are serving, I would start with a 1/4 or 1/2 sheet as a base. Make that look like a table- fondant covered and painted or airbrushed to look like a table cloth. A plate can be made by sandwiching fondant between two real plates heavily covered in cornstarch or 10x to get the shape while it dries.

As for the chicken, rice crispy treat shaped and covered in fondant. Experiment with graham cracker crumbs or crushed corn flakes. I've glued like this before with piping gel. Melted strawberry jam makes a nice marinara. A stiff frosting, piped, makes pasta. 

Check out the "Hello, Cupcake" book's spaghetti and meatballs.
