Bring a pot of water to a simmer over low heat; add chicken breast and cook until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a plate; cool before shredding into a large bowl.

While chicken cooks, fill a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Stir in macaroni and return to a boil. Cook macaroni uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and rinse with cool water to halt the cooking process until cool to the touch. Add to bowl with chicken.
