Yes, it’s hard to say how much because we cooked it with broth, but there was quite a bit.

Crazy coincidence: Yesterday I bought about 5 1/2 pounds of chicken breasts because they were on sale and we cooked them in an instant pot and shredded them for quick additions to salads, wraps, etc. My partner portioned out the finished product using a kitchen scale and was absolutely galled that it lost about half the weight in water.

“Cooked weight” made me chuckle, can you imagine? It makes sense, i’d just never really thought about liquid release as a ratio before.
