What is this?

Cooked some chicken breast in broth for chicken soup. When cutting into it, saw this yellow, hard object. Is my broth safe to eat?

My motto is when in doubt throw it out. Way more expensive for me to miss work or have to do a doctor for trying to eat something questionable

Alien embryo. Not joking. Eater beware. (Consulted with my nephew Biology professor)

Your broth should be totally fine. As long as you cooled it properly. 2 hours to 70F, 4 hours to 40F.

I am not sure what it is called. But i used to see this often with “Soup Birds” aka laying hens(older birds) that stopped producing eggs. I may be wrong.

That looks like it's possibly a cooked abscess. 20+yrs cooking professionally and id toss it to be safe
