"The cream chicken was also really good, but very, very rich. I’d only recommend this in small doses, like on a cracker as an appetizer."

"I really liked the creamed chicken. It had a smooth, rich taste and went really well with the crackers. Though I probably wouldn’t want to eat it in large amounts, the chicken was really good as an hors d’oeuvre."
—Guianna Henriquez, 17, Marlborough School




"Seth’s cream cheese chicken was pretty good! I liked how it could work as an appetizer on tiny crackers. Perfect if you wanted to eat it before dinner or at a party for a platter dish."
