Chicken (cooked, diced): Grams to Cups
1 cup of chicken (cooked, diced) = 140 grams
One US cup of chicken (cooked, diced) weighs 140 grams. One 250 ml metric cup — the one used in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada — holds 148 grams. To convert any weight, divide the grams by the figure for your cup.
A cup of cooked chicken, chopped or diced, weighs 140 g (USDA FoodData Central, chicken meat only, roasted). USDA uses the same 140 g for breast meat, light meat, dark meat and stewed chicken, so it works for leftover roast chicken in a salad or casserole. Canned chicken packs tighter: a cup of drained canned chicken is 205 g. Spoon diced chicken into the cup loosely; pressing it down raises the weight.

How to measure chicken (cooked, diced) accurately
