- •1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
- 1
Bring a small pot of water to a rolling boil. Carefully lower the two eggs for soft-boiling into the boiling water using a spoon. Boil for exactly 6 minutes for a perfectly runny yolk, then immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking.

While the eggs are boiling, heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the ground chicken and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Season the chicken with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
- 3
In a separate bowl, whisk the two eggs for scrambling with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, and the 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes until well combined and slightly frothy.

Once the chicken is cooked, reduce the heat to low. Pour the whisked eggs over the cooked chicken in the skillet.
- 5
Allow the eggs to set for about 30 seconds without stirring, then gently push the cooked portions from the edges towards the center, allowing the uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue cooking and gently folding until the eggs are mostly set but still moist and fluffy.
- 6
Peel the soft-boiled eggs. Carefully slice each egg in half lengthwise.
- 7
Divide the spicy chicken scramble between two plates or bowls. Top each serving with the halved soft-boiled eggs.

Garnish with an optional sprinkle of black pepper and serve warm for a truly comforting and flavorful experience.
