Serves: 2

Prep: 5 minutes

Cook: 20 minutes

1 T. olive oil

2 c. angel hair pasta, cooked

1/2 c. canned artichokes hearts, chopped

2 T. capers

1 pinch salt and pepper, to taste

1 left over small chicken breasts cooked with white wine and lemon juice

2 eggs, poached

1 T. balsamic vinegar

2 T. parmesan cheese, freshly grated

1 T. Italian parsley, minced

Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium high. In a mixing bowl combine cooked pasta, artichoke hearts, capers, salt and pepper. Toss to mix evenly and add to skillet. Spread pasta out into a circle and cook until slightly golden about 10 minutes per side.

In the meantime reheat chicken breasts in toaster oven or microwave until warmed through.

Bring a medium pot of water with a bit of vinegar to a gentle boil. Add eggs and using a slotted spoon keep their form and poach until the white is cooked and the yolk is still runny about 2 to 3 minutes.

Assemble plate by dividing the pasta and chicken between the two plates, place poached egg and drizzle with balsamic. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and garnish with parsley.
