How much time a egg should be boiled without harming the protein and other nutrients?

You can't "harm" the protein or nutrients in an egg. Cooking the egg enough so that the egg white turns white causes the albumin protein to denature, or rearrange, because of the heat. The nutritional properties are not affected. You should be more concerned that your egg is cooked thoroughly enough to kill any food borne pathogens such as Salmonella and E. Coli.

How much time an egg should be boiled without harming the proteins and other nutrients?
The proteins and nutrients in an egg cannot be "harmed". Cooking an egg so that the albumin (the egg white) turns white is caused by the proteins denaturing and changing shape due to the heat. There's absolutely no evidence that this denatured protein has any different effect on the human body than the raw egg white. Boiling an egg will not appreciably affect its nutritional content. More of concern should be that the egg is cooked thoroughly to destroy foodborne pathogens such as E. Coli and Salmonella. Contracting food poisoning from uncooked foods is a far greater danger than any postulated "loss of nutrients" from boiling an egg too long!

To have the equal amount of protein in a 4 oz chicken breast how many hard boil eggs can you eat?
A 4 oz chicken breast has about 20g of protein. One large hard-boiled egg has 6g of protein. So you'd have to eat 3 hard-boiled eggs to get roughly the same amount of protein.
