How many shredded chicken i need for 3 cups?

The amount of shredded chicken needed for 3 cups depends on how densely the shredded chicken is packed. On average, 3 cups of shredded chicken weigh around 12-14 ounces, which is equivalent to about 2-3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken thighs. However, it is always a good idea to have some extra cooked shredded chicken on hand for variations in the recipe or to ensure you have enough.
