How many chicken breasts in a cup?

I have a recipe that calls for 1 1/2 CUPS of shredded chicken. I am using frozen chicken breasts and have no idea how many to use. Thanks!

1. 3 good size chicken breasts
2. depends on the size of the breasts...could be one if they are big or a little more is they are smaller
3. depends on the size of the breasts
4. Since the size of the chicken breast can vary, I usually go by weight. One pound of raw boneless, skinless chicken produces approximately 3 cups of diced cooked chicken. One pound of raw bone-in chicken produces approximately 1 cup of diced cooked chicken.
5. A cup is 8 oz. liquid or solid so if you needed 1 1/2 C. you would need 12 oz. of chicken
6. I'd say probably two medium sized breast halves (one whole breast).
