Chicken Salad with Fines Herbes

Try this hugely herbaceous, tarragon-themed chicken salad using the French classic combination of tarragon, chervil, parsley, and chives. I’ve made the chervil optional because it can be hard to find. But if it is available, I can’t recommend an herb more highly, for an anise flavor even more delicate than tarragon. Even the shape of this herb is uncommonly elegant and beautiful.
