1. Depends how big they are, look on the packaging.
2. Chicken breast come in different sizes. Some 4 oz--so 2 would be half pound. if it is 6 oz--then 1 and 1/4. if 8 oz--then that is half pound!
3. It depends, boneless-skinless or bone in? It also depends on the size. The last ones I got that were bone in, were enormous! Boneless-skinless I'd say 2.
4. They normally weigh 3 to 6 oz for boneless and 4 to 8 oz for bone-in. So, anywhere from 1 to 3 would equal half a pound, depending on what size you get and whether it's bone-in or boneless.
5. I would use a couple, or 4 thighs. Thigh meat is cheaper and has more taste.
6. normally skinless average weight is between 160-175gms each. 1 lrg for 2 people will make a tasty soup.
7. Probably 2, give or take a couple of ounces.
8. Depends how big the breasts are. If you're just making soup then you don't need to be exact on the weight of the chicken, just eyeball it.
