Cook the chicken breast in a large amount of water to create a concentrated broth.

Add 1 tablespoon of homemade chicken broth to the water.

Toast the angel hair pasta in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly to avoid burning.

Once the chicken is cooked, shred it finely.

Chop the bell pepper, garlic, and onion as finely as possible.

Melt margarine in a skillet and sauté the bell peppers until golden brown.

Remove the sautéed bell peppers and in the same fat, add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic, sautéing until translucent.

Add 5 tablespoons of sweet tomato sauce and 4 tablespoons of black sauce, ensuring the broth is not too salty.

Sauté for about 2-3 minutes, then add the shredded chicken and mix well.

Add the sautéed bell peppers back into the mixture and cook for another 5 minutes to combine flavors.

Cook the pasta in the broth used for the chicken, ensuring not to make it too soupy; it should be cooked for about 5 minutes, checking for doneness.

Once the pasta is cooked and has absorbed the broth, turn off the heat and mix in the remaining ingredients.

Add quail eggs on top, or use regular eggs cut into quarters, and mix gently to avoid breaking them too much.

Let the dish rest for at least 30 minutes before serving.
