How many ounces of chicken make 1 cup?

You can't directly convert ounces of chicken to cups because ounces measure weight, and cups measure volume.

Chicken density varies depending on the cut and how it's cooked. Here's why a direct conversion isn't possible:

* Bone-in vs. boneless: Bone-in chicken will have a different volume than boneless chicken for the same weight.

* Dark meat vs. white meat: Dark meat is denser than white meat.

* Cooked vs. raw: Cooking chicken reduces its volume.

To get an approximate idea:

* Boneless, skinless chicken breast: About 4 ounces of cooked chicken breast will yield about 1 cup of shredded or diced chicken.

* Other cuts: You'll need to adjust the weight based on the type of chicken and how it's cooked.

It's always best to weigh your chicken and adjust the recipe based on your needs.
