Absolutely, yes! It is like the other white meat, Pork. It must be cooked thoroughly (safety factor) but without losing it's moisture.

Just like anything else, especially when dealing with issues of nutrition, the healthfulness of chicken really depends on its preparation and consumption. Baked chicken? Sure, that's healthy. Doesn't taste very good, but it is healthy. Fried chicken? Tastes great, but not good for you. Grilled chicken? Probably pretty healthy. Chicken enchiladas smothered in cheese sauce and sour cream? Not so much.
Of course, even baked chicken, when consumed in large quantities, can be bad for you, but this could be said about anything.
