Pour the chicken broth and tomatoes into the pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, add the chicken breasts, and cover. Cook over medium heat until the chicken is no longer pink in the center but still tender, about 15 minutes.

Shred the chicken in the pot. Stir in the coconut milk and spinach. Remove the soup from the heat as soon as the spinach starts to wilt, about 1 minute. Garnish with cilantro. Place 1/2 cup cooked rice in each serving bowl and ladle the soup on top. Place a wedge of lime on the side of each bowl for squeezing into the soup.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
