Moist chicken plays off the chewiness of the bacon, just as the cool greens contrast with the warm, silky poached egg in this main-dish salad. Using the pan juices from roast chicken in the vinaigrette adds depth and complexity. If forgoing the drippings, you will need an additional teaspoon of lemon juice and tablespoon of olive oil for the dressing.

Steps:
- Cook lardons in a skillet over medium heat until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate, and let cool completely.
- Whisk together lemon juice, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in oil, then pan juices. Add escarole, chicken, and lardons, and toss to coat evenly. Divide among 4 plates.
- Bring 1 1/2 inches water to a simmer in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in vinegar. Crack 1 egg into a small bowl. Holding bowl just above surface of water, gently pour egg into skillet. Repeat with remaining 3 eggs. Poach eggs, undisturbed, just until whites are firm and yolks are still runny, about 4 minutes (for firmer yolks, poach 1 to 2 minutes longer).
- Carefully remove eggs from water with a slotted spoon, letting excess water drain off. Place 1 egg on top of each salad, and season with salt and pepper. Garnish with fried lemon zest, and serve immediately. Note: The eggs in this recipe are not fully cooked.
