We like to cook additional chicken breasts with Greek seasoning and garlic in a pan and add pieces of the chicken to my soup as well as additional squeezes of lemon juice.

Ingredients

224 g Boneless, skinless Chicken Breasts
2 Eggs
56 g Orzo Pasta Dry (rice may be used as a substitute)
4 cups Low Sodium Chicken Broth
4 tbsp Lemon juice freshly squeezed
Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

Pour Chicken Broth into a large pot and set heat to Medium High
Place chicken breasts into pot of broth, cover with lid and boil for 8-10 minutes until cooked through
Turn heat to medium and remove chicken breasts. Shred with forks and set aside
Pour Orzo into the pot of broth and cover with lid *The orzo takes 9 min to cook so it will be done once all ingredients have been combined
Using a small bowl, beat eggs and set aside
Squeeze 4 tbsp of lemon juice into a cup. Slowly pour lemon juice into the eggs while whisking to avoid curdling the eggs
Add the shredded chicken to pot of orzo and broth. Add one ladle of soup into egg mixture to warm (do this 3-4 times) before adding the eggs into the pot of soup. This will prevent the eggs from scrambling!
Stir the soup to combine all ingredients and add salt and pepper to taste as well as any fresh or dried herbs you like such as oregano or parsley
