athena1277 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I bought frozen chicken breasts yesterday so I could make chicken and rice soup today. I got the chicken out to boil it and discovered I accidentally bought lemon-herb flavor instead of just plain chicken. If I boil it as planned, will it lose a lot of the lemon flavor, or do I need to go buy more chicken? :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbkaren Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Gosh, I wouldn't hesitate to use it. I'm not a super-picky gourmet type so a little bit of seasoning, diluted in a soup, wouldn't bother me one bit! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doran5 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I would rinse them first. Not sure how lemon would be in the soup. Otherwise, make sure you add something with sugar(carrots, parsnips) just to counter the acidity of the lemon juice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvnlattes Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I would rinse them first. :iagree: I think if you did that, then boil them as you mentioned, you will get rid of most of the flavoring. There might be something subtle left but that could go nicely with the soup :) . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuirkyKidAcademy Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Lemon chicken soup sounds wonderful! If it does turn out too strong for your taste, feel free to send it to me. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

athena1277 Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 Thanks! My biggest hesitation is that dh is picky and if he notices it, he won't eat it. I went ahead and boiled it and tried a small bite. You can only taste a bit of the lemon, so hopefully once it cooks in the soup all day, it won't be noticeable at all. It may be a little more herb-y than usual, but that should be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
