Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the chicken breasts in the boiling water until the centers are no longer pink and the juices run clear, 12 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Rinse the chicken under cold water to cool, cut into small chunks, and refrigerate until fully chilled.

Meanwhile, bring a separate large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the shells and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes; drain. Rinse with cold water until cool; drain again.

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.
