How many chicken breasts would be enough for making a sandwich for two people?

What would the measure be if it is diced and put in cups?Plus when making a chicken sandwich should i dice the chicken before or after i fry it?

1. 2 cups of chicken dice before frying
2. if it is just a sandwich and you don't want leftovers, I'd do one breast per person - it's healthy portion control according to nutritionists. Also, dicing before will absorb 3 times the oil and also break the "seal" and let the natural juices out. --dice afterward.
3. 17 should be enough. How big is your husband? Ask him if he is hungry or not. If he is, add more.
4. I would cook the chicken breast and you will need one for two sandwiches.
5. dice after cooking 1 large breast ought to be enough for 2 sammies
6. Diced chicken in a sandwich........UGH! 1/2 of a chicken breast [chickens have 1 breast, 1/2 on each side which makes up 1. Slice, cook and serve.
7. One breast would be enough. I would poach it rather than fry and after cooling pull it apart with your fingers or a couple of forks.
8. I would think at least 2 cups of diced chicken breast but that's for an ample sized sandwich and it does depend on what kind of bread your using and what kind of sandwich....are you going to add any vegetables to your chicken or any other ingredients...because you can probably get away with about 1 cup or 1 and a half.........and its better to slice or dice your chicken first before frying (or sautee) ....
9. For a chicken sandwich where you would be adding such things as" mayo celery apples grapes nuts etc... You would only need 1 large breast. About a cup or so worth. I would simmer the breast, keep and eye on it and as soon as it is cooked thru remove from the water and run cold water over it. Shred it up when it is cool enough to handle. Chil completely then add the other good stuff. I would go ahead with 2 breasts just to make sure and left overs are always good. ****Chickens in a way are like humans. 2 breasts per individual. The "whole breast" is called a double breast not just the breast. I piece of breast meat is NOT a 1/2 of a breast.
