Instructions:
1. In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the chicken breast, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pot, shred it using two forks, and set it aside.
2. In the same pot, add the white rice, sweet potato, zucchini, lemon zest, and chicken bouillon cube. Stir well and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the rice is cooked.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
4. Slowly pour the egg mixture into the soup while stirring constantly to create ribbons of egg.
5. Add the shredded chicken back into the pot and simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.
6. Stir in the butter until melted. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
7. Serve the soup hot, garnished with avocado slices and a sprinkle of lemon zest.
Special Tips or Variations:
- For a richer broth, you can use chicken stock instead of water and chicken bouillon cube.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots, peas, or spinach to customize the soup to your liking.
- You can substitute the chicken breast with leftover cooked chicken for a quicker preparation.
