A lightly pickled cucumber salad—sliced and tossed with paper-thin red onions and seasoned rice vinegar—is a nice crisp complement to these rich endive bites. Chop either white or dark chicken to make the creamy salad to spoon into each endive leaf. If you’d like, garnish each bite with a fresh cilantro leaf.
