Ingredients

  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon freshly chopped tarragon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

+ 6 more ingredients

Instructions

1

In a small bowl, combine tarragon, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Spread over chicken breasts to season. 

2

I cooked the chicken in our George Foreman Grill for about 7 minutes. You could also prepare the chicken in a skillet on medium-high until fully cooked.

3

Separate eggs, putting yolks in a small bowl and the whites into a medium mixing bowl. Beat yolks. 

4

Beat whites until light and fluffy. Set both aside. 

5

With two forks, shred the chicken breasts and put into a bowl; set aside. 

6

Pour chicken broth into a large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. 

7

Add orzo and cook for two minutes less than the required cooking time. 

8

Add chicken and pepper to the pan and cook contents for another two minutes. 

9

Reduce heat to medium-low. 

10

With a whisk, begin whisking the egg whites as you slowly pour the egg yolks in. 

11

Continue whisking as you slowly add the lemon juice, emulsifying the mixture. 

12

Add about 1 cup of just the broth from the heated pan to the eggs. 

13

Add the lemon/egg mixture to the soup, and add pepper to taste. 

14

Gently shake the pot instead of wanting to stir, as this was suggested by a true Greek. 

15

Heat over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes without covering. 

16

Serve into bowls.
