My approachable take on an authentic and traditional time consuming recipe, that takes a quarter of the amount of time, and tastes just as good!
Avgolemono is a Greek Kitchen staple. It's equivalent in American kitchens to chicken noodle soup, or a matzo ball in a Jewish Kitchen. Homemade Medicine. Fight a cold or flu and soothe the blues and comfort the soul with this amazing recipe.
Ingredients
3 cups Organic Low Sodium Chicken Broth (I always make my own bone broth but we are saving time here people)
Himalayan Pink Salt or Sea Salt
2 cups Cooked Organic White Rice (I personally love basmati in all greek dishes)
2-3 Pasture- raised egg yolks at room temperature
2 large lemons
1 tbsp Oregano
2 cooked Organic Chicken Breasts shredded, *to really save time buy an organic rotisserie chicken from Whole Foods.
Organic chopped fresh dill
Directions
Ready? Measure out all of your ingredients and set them out. I use my high powered Vitamix (find it here https://www.vitamix.com/us/en_us/ ) blender, but any blender that is high powered will do just fine.
In a sauce pan, season the chicken broth or stock with salt and pepper. Bring to a low boil.
Pour 1.5 cups of your broth/stock into a high powered blender, along with 1 cup rice (cooked), your egg yolks, lemon juice, and oregano and blend until thick and smooth.
Pour your thickened puree into the remaining stock/broth and add your shredded chicken. Bring to a low rolling boil, and simmer for 12 minutes.
Top with Dill and Pepper.
OPA!!
