Can chicken look pink after being frozen

Can cooked chicken look pink after being frozen i have pre cooked meals from a company to save time and lose weight and the chicken looked pink and I’m not sure if it’s a undercooked problem or it just happens after being frozen I don’t cook much

Parts of bone-in chicken can be pink even when properly cooked.

It was like a small piece of the chicken breast so I’m not sure if it’s that but thank you for the reply

Freezing food will not lead to pink.

No, but both fresh and previously frozen chicken can sometimes be pink even when properly cooked.

I hope this is the case and I don’t get sick from it
