2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 yellow onion medium, peeled and cut into thin wedges
4 parsley sprigs
4 inches lemon zest strips, the colored part of the rind, each about 2 inches long and 1/2 wide
1 sprig fresh mint
2 quarts rich chicken broth
rice cup raw, cooked separately by package directions*
4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup mint coarsely chopped
salt to taste
1/8 teaspoon black pepper or white

1
Simmer the chicken breast with the onion, parsley, lemon zest, and mint sprig in the chicken stock in a covered heavy saucepan over low heat 30-40 minutes until cooked through.
2
Remove chicken breast and cool. Strain the broth through a sieve and return to the pan.
3
Boil the stock uncovered 8-10 minutes to reduce slightly.
4
Meanwhile, cut chicken breasts into large julienne, and add to the broth along with the cooked rice, lemon juice, chopped mint, salt (optional- I didn't need any), and pepper. Heat 2-3 minutes.
5
Ladle into soup plates, float a mint-sprigged lemon slices in each portion, and serve.
6
I cooked 1/3 cup raw, white rice in 2/3 cup boiling water (in a small covered saucepan) for about 15 minutes or until all water was absorbed.
