I am not a huge meat eater myself. I enjoy a piece, but I don't need very much. However, if you are a bigger eater, feel free to take a whole chicken breast per person. Actually, this applies to all my recipes. The quantities are somewhat up to preference. When I cook for 4 people, I always base my recipes on 2 adults and 2 children. For some, this is more than enough, and for others, it is too little, so feel free to play around with that yourself.
