We forget what a serving size actually is. 4 oz of meat is a serving size. 2 pounds of chicken is 8 servings. Not to mention plenty of other things have protein, including plain white bread and pasta.
The protein obsession is the newest diet culture trend. It's almost unheard of for people in the US to actually be deficient in protein. What is common in the US is obesity, which is probably affected by the enormous servings people think are normal.

A lot of people who say they feed a breast per person are buying the teeny tiny breast from the grocery store. They’re not buying meat from a butcher.

I don’t think there’s a right or wrong answer. I personally give each person a breast.

If I’m mixing the protein in with something (like this recipe) I always figure one pound of meat for four servings.

If I’m eating chicken by itself, yes I make a breast per person, but if using the chicken in some kind of dish, I wouldn’t cook a breast per person. Just like I wouldn’t use 6 pounds of hamburger to make spaghetti for 6 people.

1 breast per person. If it’s a little kid 1/2 a breast. But you had a lot with the rice & beans. Looked good.

A proper serving of meat is about 4 ounces. People nowadays do not eat proper portions. But 4 ounces of meat is a real portion. So you are totally correct. 2 large chicken breasts is totally appropriate for your family size. Right on momma.

A a dietitian will tell you 3 to 4 oz of meat is all you need. And you have young kids. Who clearly get home cooked meals all the time. I am amazing on what you can get your kids to eat. Mine are picky. You do you
