- Add the rice, Remove the chicken from the pan and desosse (if applicable), unraveling the meat into bite-size pieces. Return the shredded meat to the pot. Add the rice and cook for a further 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed a part of the liquid.
- Finish the soup: Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Discard the bay leaf. If you want to, then add the parsley or green onions, chopped, to give a fresh touch.
- To serve: Serve the chicken hot, with lemon juice if you like. Lemon juice can be squeezed into the soup for an extra touch of flavor.
