Directions

1. I use chicken right from the supermarket-- try to make recipe with room-temp chicken where possible. Put chicken meat in bowl. sometimes to serve 2 I just use white meat plus the chicken thighs. Shred the meat evenly if time permits.
2. Cut baby endives on the diagonal in very thin slices. This should make between 1/2 cup and 1 cup. Do not panic if you have more-- relax.
3. Slice green onions as thinly as possible by hand
4. Heat slivered almonds in 1 generous tablespoon butter in microwave if no toasted almonds
5. For dressing: Juice the lemon using a strainer to catch seeds. Put juice in glass measuring cup. Then add grainy mustard,whisking until combined. Then add Maille or Grey-Poupon mustard. Then add 1/2 c olive oil and whisk until emulsified.
6. Make Chicken Salad Put shredded chicken into large dish (later to be used for serving). Add toasted slivered almonds and sliced baby endives and green onion.
