Question, Kroger brand boneless/ skinless chicken breast 3lb bag says one serving is 4 ounces(110 calories). I'm not sure of the amount of breast in the whole bag, but I cut up one breast and I'm not sure how many oz that would be. Does anyone know how many ounce is in one kroger boneless/skinless chicken breast??

    You must be back east :) We don't have Krogers out in AZ but to try and help you out I would think that all those bags of chicken are about the same. 4 ounces I believe would be about the size of your palm. Hope that helps.

    Well.........3 pounds equals 48 ounces. So take 48 and divide it by the number of breasts in the bag. If there are 12 chicken breasts in the bag, then each breast is 4 ounces. If there are less than that, then the breasts are larger than 4 ounces.

    Your best bet is to invest in a little scale for your kitchen. It makes figuring out portion sizes SOOO much easier!

    4 ounces is smaller than you think. I use a food scale and I'm amazed at how small portions are! It's the best thing I've purchased! :)

    same here! I was shocked at how badly I was estimating. I couldn't do this without my scale. I got mine at Amazon for about $8.

    (Edit): And I shop at Kroger! Hi there, neighbor!

    Our Krogers would be Fry's...they carry Kroger brand :)

    I get the Kroger chicken breasts too and usually each breast in the package is larger than 4oz. 4oz of chicken is roughly the size of a deck of cards (a food scale is the only way to know exactly how much you are eating), but if you are judging visually, that's close. I find that in general they are 6-8oz each breast in the kroger bags :)

    From my personal experience most chicken breast are right around 8 ounces but your best bet is to invest in a food scale. They have one at Kroger for $10. It is worth it, trust me.

    But you have stores that are owned by Kroger :) I used to work at Kroger when I lived in Ohio, and they're everywhere. You wouldn't believe how many store chains Kroger owns.

    Krogers, King Soopers, And Fry's are all the same company :) They were bought over time by Krogers but instead of changing the names (and possibly losing customers) they just incorporated the same store-brand products and management style.
