1
Prepare the Broth
In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
2
Cook the Rice
Add the rice to the simmering broth and cook according to package instructions until tender, usually about 15-20 minutes.
3
Add Chicken
Stir in the shredded cooked chicken and let it heat through for about 5 minutes.
4
Make the Avgolemono Mixture
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and lemon juice until well combined.
5
Temper the Egg Mixture
Slowly ladle a cup of the hot broth into the egg mixture while whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
6
Combine and Serve
Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the pot while stirring continuously. Cook on low heat for a few more minutes, without boiling, until slightly thickened. Season with salt, pepper, and garnish with fresh dill or parsley before serving.
