Chicken Fajitas for a Crowd: How Much Chicken Do You Need?

[jabis68]

I want to make this at a party in the DCB. Is 1 1/2 lbs. of chicken breast enough to feed 10-15 people a fajita each? Or should I have her get more chicken??

I'd say 3# at least, and use the mix n chop to shred it to stretch the chicken further.

I also buy the small tortillas

I always say 4 chicken breast, and small tortillas. I use the salad choppers instead. Remember, this is a sampling, not a meal.

Hi there! Thank you for considering using the Deep Covered Baker for your party. 1 1/2 lbs. of chicken breast should be enough to feed 10-15 people, assuming each person will have one fajita each. However, if you want to ensure that everyone has enough to eat, it's always a good idea to have some extra chicken on hand. You can also stretch the chicken by adding more veggies and toppings to the fajitas. Happy cooking!
