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.)

- 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).
