This diet doesn't actually have to include any meat, but assuming that you started with eating meat and that you plan to return, it makes sense to add them one at a time.
Another thing to note is that on a day which "allows" a certain food, you're not actually required to eat it on that day. It could still be useful to think about it with thankfulness.
As with fish, the chicken you eat required that another being would die for this nourishment. Even if you've decided that this is ethically OK, it's still worthwhile to foster a sense of gratitude for it.
For the first time eating chicken, I suggest having it very plain, maybe with just a little salt and pepper. While eating it, try to visualize the way it nourishes you. It's particularly high in protein and iron.
On later days, try eating it other ways - roasted, with hot sauce or tomato sauce, etc. Maybe even try something new, like liver (which is extremely nutritious).
(Other poultry might include duck or goose.)
