Chicken Salad in Endive Boats
I tried a new chicken recipe the other night using chicken thighs. I was a little unsure of the recipe so I baked a pan of chicken legs coated in Italian salad dressing to go with it. Guess what, the guys didn’t even touch the thighs and I wasn’t impressed.
I’ve mentioned before that growing up my family had a restaurant. It was an all you can eat buffet that included fried chicken. When we had leftover chicken my Grandma would make the best chicken salad and I loved it. So my not so great new recipe turned into delicious chicken salad.
I know there are still a few of you who resist facebook and all of it’s drama but sometimes there’s good stuff. Like the other day when I shared the Discover Endive page. I won a big box of California Endive! So of course I had to share a recipe with it! Endive makes the perfect vessel for chicken salad!
I sprinkled a little blue cheese over the salad and it was a great addition. Serve this as a main coarse or an appetizer, either way it is good stuff!
I am still up in the air if it is pronounced On-deeve or In-dive but I’m sure I say lots of things the wrong way with my southern accent. How do you say it?

These look so good and so simple to make!
These look good! Nice and healthy, and tasty
In NJ, or around my part at least, we pronounce it en-dive. But you know how notorious our accent is (not as bad as Boston though!)
I say en-dive, correct or not! This looks delicious, Milisa!
This is so great…almost like “grown up” lettuce wraps. Sounds amazing!
I love chicken salad, especially with grapes
This is gorgeous, Missy!
Don’t the endive leaves make the best little scoopers : )
3 boats of salads please. They look like little boats.
Mmm, love the orange juice and honey in these. They look great!
