Add chicken stock, reduce heat, and simmer while you prepare meatballs. Place ground chicken in a bowl. Add 3 chopped tomatoes, chopped onion, egg, rice, mint, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well with your hands until mixture is uniform. Take about 1/4 cup of mixture and form into round meatballs using wet hands. Place on a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken mixture. Bring stock mixture to a boil. Place a meatball into a ladle and submerge into boiling stock. Remove the ladle and repeat with remaining meatballs. Place zucchini, chayote, and carrots into stock. Bring to a boil again. Lower heat, season with salt, and cover. Simmer until meatballs are no longer pink in the center and vegetables are soft, about 30 minutes.
