Yes, a chicken and a hen are the same thing in the context of referring to the female of the domestic fowl.

However, the term 'chicken' is only used when describing domestic fowl, while 'hen' also applies to the female of all other birds as well as to some aquatic animals such as lobsters and octopuses.
