Can cats eat cooked chicken?

Also called: chicken, boiled chicken, chicken breast, turkey, cooked turkey, cooked meat

Safe

Plain, cooked and boneless, as an occasional treat.

Yes, plain cooked chicken is fine as an occasional treat. Take out all bones, skip seasoning, and keep it small: it isn't a replacement for a complete cat food.

How to offer it

Cook it thoroughly and serve it plain, without seasoning or bones.
Start with a small piece if it's new to your cat.

Keep in mind

Treats should be a small share of what your cat eats: VCA says up to 10% of daily calories, ASPCA says 5% or less of daily food.
Chicken alone is not a complete diet for cats.
Never raw: raw meat can carry harmful germs.

When to call a vet

If your cat has a medical condition or eats a special diet, check with your vet before giving treats.
