Yes, you can freeze chicken after it has been cooked although there are certain elements to consider.
If you put chicken in the freezer while it is still hot, any water/steam that is trapped in the container while it is still freezing can lead to freezer burn.
Also, it is generally better for the food to go from either temp. extreme (cold to hot or hot to cold) gently as each change can impact the texture of the meat.
