150 grams of chicken breast equals approximately 0.75 cups when chopped or diced. This conversion is essential for air fryer recipes where precise measurements can affect cooking times and results. At airfryerrecipe.co.uk, we know that getting your chicken portions right makes all the difference between juicy perfection and dry disappointment.
Air fryers circulate hot air rapidly, so unevenly sized chicken pieces cook at different rates. Using the correct cup measurement for 150 grams of chicken breast ensures even cooking. This is particularly important when following recipes from our collection, where we’ve tested timings based on specific quantities. Whether you’re making crispy tenders or juicy breasts, starting with the right amount of chicken sets you up for success.
The density of chicken breast affects cup measurements too. 150g of whole chicken breast occupies less space than 150g of finely diced pieces. For most recipes, we recommend dicing your chicken into 2cm cubes before measuring – this gives the most consistent results across different air fryer models. Check our conversion chart for other common chicken measurements.
If you don’t have kitchen scales, visual estimates can help. A deck of cards-sized piece of chicken breast typically weighs about 100 grams, so 150 grams would be roughly one and a half times that size. For cup measurements, fill a standard 240ml cup about three-quarters full with diced chicken to approximate 150 grams. Remember that these methods aren’t as precise as weighing, but work in a pinch.
The way you prepare your 150 grams of chicken breast affects the cup measurement. Whole chicken breasts will yield different cup quantities compared to shredded or ground chicken. When adapting recipes from our chicken category, consider the preparation method specified – we often note whether measurements refer to raw, cooked, diced, or shredded chicken.
For meal prepping multiple portions, multiply the 150 grams to cups conversion accordingly. Six portions would require about 4.5 cups of diced chicken (900 grams total). Our meal prep section includes bulk recipes designed specifically for air fryer users who want to prepare several meals at once while maintaining perfect texture and flavour.
When cooking 150 grams of chicken breast in your air fryer, arrange the pieces in a single layer with space between them for optimal air circulation. This amount typically cooks in 12-15 minutes at 180°C, turning halfway. After cooking, always check the internal temperature reaches 75°C for food safety.
