Method

Bring chicken stock to a simmer in a large stockpot. 

Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl whisk together eggs, cheese, parsley, nutmeg, chives, bread crumbs, salt and pepper. 

Place egg mixture in a large measuring cup or container with a spout for easy pouring.

When ready to serve, taste chicken stock and season with salt and pepper. 

Whisk the stock so it is swirling rapidly, then pour in the egg mixture. 

Add the chicken and continue whisking, just until the egg is set in thin strands and the chicken is heated through, a few minutes longer. Serve immediately.
