Avgolemono (Lemon Chicken Soup)
Method
Poach Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large pot, add the chicken broth, and bring to a boil. Submerge the chicken breasts, reduce heat, and simmer for 12 minutes until cooked through, then remove and shred.
Cook Grain: Add the low-GI brown basmati rice directly into the bubbling broth, covering and simmering for 15 minutes until tender.
Temper Sauce: Whisk the eggs and fresh lemon juice in a bowl until frothy. Slowly whisk in two ladles of the hot broth to temper the egg mixture, ensuring it does not scramble.
Combine & Finish: Reduce the heat to low, stir the tempered egg mixture and shredded chicken back into the pot, and stir continuously for 2 minutes until silky and thickened.
