Step 1
Bring broth to boil in a large pot. Add rice and halved onion; simmer 12 minutes until rice is tender.
Step 2
Shred rotisserie chicken into bite-sized pieces. Remove onion from pot and discard.
Step 3
Whisk eggs in a bowl with juice from both lemons until pale, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Reduce heat to low. Slowly ladle hot broth into the egg mixture while whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
Step 5
Pour the egg-broth mixture back into the pot, stirring gently. Add shredded chicken and stir until combined.
Step 6
Serve in bowls topped with fresh dill. Do not boil after adding eggs or they will scramble.
