WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD???

This afternoon I made chicken soup for our dinner tonight...
sounds yummy, right???
I didn't have a leftover cooked chicken carcass --which is my preferred way to make this soup,
so, I used some boned, skinned breasts; and  as usual,  I covered them with water, added a bay leaf and a pinch of salt and let them simmer, skimming off the foam as it appeared, until they were cooked.
BUT:....
when I lifted them out of my pan they were covered with this white gel-like, gooey stuff--in bits and blobs.
UGH..so I rinsed them, but ended up having to scrape the stuff off and rinse again..

Now the chicken breasts were good--they hadn't gone bad or anything
 (they passed the smell test just fine LOL) .

SO, my questions are:  Has this ever happened to you soup makers out there?

Is this something new they are using on the chickens that I should know about?

Is it harmful?

Or is this yet just another step we soup makers have to go through to make soup??
