Put the chicken stock in a pot, add the rice, and cook for 18 minutes until tender.
Shred the boiled chicken meat, add it to the pot, and heat for 5 minutes.
Whisk the eggs and lemon juice in a separate bowl until foamy.
Gradually add 3 ladles of hot soup to the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
Pour the tempering into the pot in a thin stream and thicken the soup over low heat for 4 minutes without boiling.
Add the salt, black pepper, and chopped dill, rest for 3 minutes, and serve.
💡 Tip: When tempering, add the hot soup ladle by ladle; rushing can scramble the egg and make the soup look curdled.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve avgolemono with dill and black pepper, with toasted bread slices if desired as a light dinner starter.
