Chicken alone is not a balanced raw diet. Especially so if you're not feeding whole chickens inclusive of organs but only like chicken quarters. On average chicken is 30% bone content which is already too much for long term feeding esp to puppies. It's also lacking in most minerals including copper and iron. if you won't be supplementing with vegetables, red meat is a necessity as well as secreting organs..
Better to do a more thorough read on feeding a raw diet, a wrongly balanced one is worse than just feeding kibble.
What about a better quality kibble? Most kibble already has border line high Ca/P amounts. Feeding too much Ca/P causes rapid bone growth lacking in density according to large studies.
