### Instructions:
1. In a large pot, simmer chicken in chicken broth until fully cooked and tender (about 45 minutes). Remove chicken and shred the meat, discarding bones and skin.
2. Add rice or orzo to the broth and cook until tender.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and lemon juice together until smooth.
4. Slowly ladle warm broth into the egg-lemon mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs and prevent curdling.
5. Gradually stir the egg-lemon mixture back into the pot of soup. Add shredded chicken, and heat gently—do not boil—to thicken the soup slightly.
6. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with fresh parsley or dill before serving.
