Used as meeting food and signals crowded preparation.

2 appearances

Purpose

Serves as catering/refreshment for a meeting — a simple protein offered to attendees during meeting preparation.

Significance

Functions as a mundane-but-telling prop that grounds the scene in logistical reality: it highlights meeting-readiness, the staff's practical care for attendees, and Josh's responsibility for arranging refreshments amid his chaotic day. The item underscores tone rather than driving plot.

Boiled chicken is mentioned as catering for Josh's jogging meeting — a pragmatic, unglamorous food choice that Josh theatrically requests to 'carb-up' for a run-meeting, illustrating his attempts to manage logistics with humor.

Before: Not yet ordered; referenced as a catering request Josh is instructing Donna to place.

After: Order presumably placed or to be placed; remains a planned provision rather than a consumed item within the scene.
