You are pretty close.

100 pieces of fried chicken - OK
20 lbs of ham - OK
5lbs (aprox 170 meatballs)of meatballs
You will probably run out of meat balls, I usually do at least 10 pounds for 100.

2 sheets of pizza - OK
5 lbs of tossed salad - I usually do at least 9 pounds for 100, 3 quarts assorted dressing, 5 pounds small croutons.
20 lbs of baked beans - about 3 gallons
10 lbs of pasta salad - I usually do at least 6 pounds dry pasta for 100.
15 lbs of cheesy potatoes - I usually do 20 pounds of potatoes plus add-ins for 100

Consider adding a fruit tray, see the fruit tray page
Consider adding 12 pounds of good bread and 3 pounds of butter
