Recipe by Woman's Day Kitchen A Greek favorite, avgolemono is a lemony chicken soup that uses whisked egg as a thickener. But there is a trick to bringing this bright-tasting classic to life: Avoid boiling the mixture, which causes the eggs to break and

Ingredients

2 bone-in chicken breast halves (about 2 lb total)
3 medium carrots
2 stalk celery
1 medium onion
2 32- oz. containers low-sodium chicken broth
Kosher salt and pepper
1/2 c. long-grain white rice
3 large eggs
1/4 c. fresh lemon juice
1/2 c. fresh flat-leaf parsley

Instructions

Place the chicken, carrots, celery and onion in a large pot. Add the broth, cover and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat, add 3/4 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper and simmer, covered, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. (Skim and discard any foam that rises to the top.)
Meanwhile, cook the rice according to package directions.
Transfer the chicken to a bowl. When cool enough to handle, shred the meat, discarding the skin and bones. Stir the chicken back into the soup and bring to a gentle simmer.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and 1/4 tsp salt until frothy. Whisk in the lemon juice. Whisking constantly, gradually add 1 cup of the hot chicken soup (liquid only) to the egg mixture. Gradually whisk in an additional cup of soup. Stir in the parsley. Stir the egg-soup mixture and rice into the soup in the pot; warm for 2 minutes (do not let it simmer or boil).
