-
Preheat oven to 425F. Brush the oven proof dish with little bit of oil. Season chicken thighs with salt, pepper and paprika. Place chicken into the oven proof dish. Roast for 45 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
-
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Pick the meat of the bones and set aside to cool.
-
Prepare mayo. In a heat proof bowl, combine egg, mustard, lemon juice. Whisk together. Set the bowl over the pan of simmering water. Whisk constantly until mixture is hot. Once hot, cook for 1 more minute while stir whisking.
-
Remove bowl from the heat and gradually while still whisking add olive oil. Mixture will thicken. Set aside to cool, stir occasionally.
-
For the Salad : roughly chop the meat, chop steamed beans into about 1/2 inch big pieces.
-
In a medium bowl combine meat, chopped shallot, beans, parsley, chives, add cooled mayonnaise and gently stir together. Taste, season with salt, pepper and lemon juice as needed.
-
Chill for an hour.
-
Split the baguettes in half, stuff with the salad. Cut the baguette into sandwiches. Wrap in a plastic wrap, napkin or wax paper. These can be made one day ahead and stored in the fridge.
-
If you like the bread to be really crusty fill the bread on the day of the picnic party.
