Bring the chicken stock to a boil and cook the rice for 18 minutes, until the grains are tender.
Whisk the egg and lemon juice in a separate bowl.
Add a ladle of hot soup to warm the egg mixture, so it does not curdle.
Stream the mixture into the pot and warm over low heat for 3 minutes.
Add the shredded chicken and serve without boiling.
💡 Tip: Temper the egg with hot soup before adding it; if it goes straight into the pot, it curdles.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with black pepper and grated lemon zest.
