Add the tomato and the water and blend the vinaigrette until it is smooth.

In a bowl toss the chicken pieces with the remaining 1 teaspoon thyme and salt and pepper to taste. Divide the arugula, the endive, the bell pepper, and the chicken between 2 plates and pour half the vinaigrette over each serving.
