Directions

Bring broth to a boil.

Bring to a second boil, lower heat, cover and simmer until the rice or pasta is tender, 20-25 minutes.
Turn off the heat.
Meanwhile, season chicken breasts with lemon pepper.
Grill over medium heat until browned on both sides and cooked through, approximately 8 minutes on each side.
Remove from the grill and allow to cool slightly. Cut into bite sized pieces.
Add the chicken to the simmering soup when the rice is done.
Separate eggs. Beat whites until peaks form.
Add the yolks to the shites and beat until blended.
Add lemon juice to the eggs and stir just until combined.

Pour the entire egg mixture back into the soup and stir gently.
