Typical price: Salefork's estimate of an everyday US shelf price for each ingredient. Pick your city to price it from this week's ad.

The amounts listed are small for a full dinner, so this price per serving is likely low. Plan on a side or a bigger portion.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 oz container fresh dill
  • 2 quarts low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 3/4 cup uncooked white rice
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • ground black pepper (optional)
  • 1 drizzle extra-virgin olive oil for serving (optional)

Steps

  1. Bring the broth to a boil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the chicken, salt, and pepper, then reduce the heat and simmer for 22 minutes.
  3. Remove the chicken, add the rice, and simmer for 18 minutes until tender.
  4. Shred the chicken when cool enough to handle, making sure it reaches 165 F.
  5. Whisk the eggs and lemon juice in a bowl, then slowly whisk in 1 cup of hot broth.
  6. Stir the egg mixture into the soup and heat gently to 160 F without boiling.
  7. Return the chicken to the pot and stir in the dill before serving.
