Comfort food doesn’t get better or easier than a cozy bowl of this slow cooker Greek lemon chicken soup. It’s creamy, satisfying, and bursting with lemon flavor. Start by seasoning your chicken breast with salt and pepper and place in the bottom of your slow cooker. Add chopped onion, celery, garlic, and chicken stock and cook to 5 hours on low. Add the rice or orzo during the last hour of cooking time to avoid overcooking it. When the chicken is done and the rice or orzo pasta are cooked, remove the chicken breast and shred it or chop it, then place it back in the pot. Beat a couple of eggs in a medium bowl. Then whisk in the lemon juice. Place about one cup of hot soup broth in a measuring cup and add a few droplets at a time to the egg lemon mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs. Continue adding the hot broth in a slow steady stream while whisking constantly. After all the stock has been added, add the egg lemon mixture to the soup in the slow cooker and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Serve and enjoy.
