Step 2:

Prepare the chicken

Cut the chicken breasts into bite sized cubes.

Step 3:

Get started

In the deep pot, slowly bring the stock and chicken pieces to a boil, on a medium temperature.

---

Step 4:

Make the accompaniment

Meanwhile, toast the bread slices. In a bowl, make the cheese spread by mixing all the feta cheese, olive oil, black olives and pepper together. When this is mixed leave aside and return to the soup.

Step 5:

Add the rice

When the soup is boiling skim the surface to remove the impurities. Stir in all the rice, and bring it back to the boil. Partially cover the pot and simmer until both the chicken and rice are cooked. This takes about 10 minutes.

Step 6:

Prepare the rest of the ingredients

Whilst the rice is cooking, whisk the eggs thoroughly. Beat in the lemon juice, until well blended.

Step 7:

Put it all together

Add 1 cup of the hot soup to the egg mixture until thoroughly blended then turn off the heat. Pour the egg mixture back into the soup pot, stirring constantly, until the soup is slightly thickened. Add salt and pepper if necessary.

It is vital you do not let the soup come to a simmer or the eggs will curdle.
