Mini TOC next to chaper

Question

I would like to place a mini table of context directly next to the chapter like in the following.

For compatibility reasons the toc should be created using titletoc as suggested in this answer. The tcolorbox in the MWE is not a must.

\documentclass{book}

\usepackage{titletoc}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{tcolorbox}

\setcounter{secnumdepth}{4}
\setcounter{tocdepth}{3}
\begin{document}
    \tableofcontents
    \chapter{A chapter}
    \startcontents[chapters]
    \begin{tcolorbox}[width=.5\linewidth]
            \printcontents[chapters]{}{1}{}
    \end{tcolorbox}

    \section{Section}
    \lipsum[1]
    \section{Section 2}
    \lipsum
    \chapter{Second chapter}
    \startcontents[chapters]
    \printcontents[chapters]{}{1}{}
    \section{Section}
    \lipsum[2]
    \section{Another section}
    \lipsum
\end{document}

and I think that minitoc is compatibility with standard class — touhami, Feb 10 '16 at 20:35
No, I need it for all chapters. I used the standard class is only for my MWE. — Manuel Schmidt, Feb 11 '16 at 06:38

try this:

\documentclass{book}

\usepackage{titletoc}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{tcolorbox}
\usepackage{picture}

\setcounter{secnumdepth}{4}
\setcounter{tocdepth}{3}
\begin{document}
    \tableofcontents
    \chapter{A chapter}
    \startcontents[chapters]
  \begin{picture}(0,0)
    \put(.4\linewidth,2.5cm){\begin{tcolorbox}[width=.5\linewidth]
               \printcontents[chapters]{}{1}{}
              \end{tcolorbox}}
  \end{picture}
    \section{Section}
    \lipsum[1]
    \section{Section 2}
    \lipsum
    \chapter{Second chapter}
    \startcontents[chapters]
    \printcontents[chapters]{}{1}{}
    \section{Section}
    \lipsum[2]
    \section{Another section}
    \lipsum
\end{document}

output:
