We used we had 2 packages of chicken breasts that were each 1.6 lb, one quart of chicken broth perfectly covered two packages of chicken in a dutch oven. Your chicken could take longer to cook if the breasts are a little larger, likewise, they won't need to sit as long at the end if they're smaller.
Be sure to cook the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 165F.
