3 One hour before dinner, get the saucepan out of the fridge. Remove fat and discard. Bring broth just up to boil. Hard boil an egg, peel and keep in cold water.
4 Lift chicken out of the saucepan. Discard skin and bones. Cut chicken meat into bite size pieces. Chop the hard boiled egg and mix with the chicken. Keep both in a bowl, covered with plastic film.
5 Strain chicken broth and keep warm. Prepare croutons.
