Put the pieces in a casserole and add one-half cup of the chicken broth, the lemon juice, salt and pepper. Cover, bring to a boil and cook about 15 minutes. The liquid should have evaporated. If there is liquid, uncover and cook until liquid evaporates.
05Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saucepan and add the flour, stirring with a wire whisk. When blended, add the remaining two cups of chicken broth, stirring rapidly with the whisk. Continue cooking, stirring often with the whisk, about 10 minutes. Add the cream, salt and pepper, and continue cooking about five minutes, stirring often.
06Add the chicken to the endives and two cups of the sauce. Stir to blend.
07To the remaining sauce add the egg yolk and blend.
08Spoon the creamed chicken mixture into a baking dish (an oval dish measuring 14 by 8 1/2 by 2 inches is ideal). Spoon the remaining sauce over all, and sprinkle with the cheese and bread crumbs. Bake in the oven 30 minutes or until piping hot and golden brown on top.
