If you cook it for long enough, at a hot enough heat, then yes. But you can only "cook" once, then "reheat" once (a reheat is not a full cooking time, just long enough to get it really hot). Do NOT reheat the same meat twice, since it can lead to food poisoning.

Why is it important that frozen meat like chicken is thawed out and cooked propely?

Any meat may have been contaminated with bacteria such as salmonella before being frozen. Thorough cooking will kill any bacteria present but if the meat is not completely thawed such bacteria may not be brought to a temperature sufficiently high to kill them. Cooking times are based on starting from a raw but unfrozen state. If the meat is still frozen then times recommended will not be sufficient to complete the coking process.
