Can you try mixing in a teaspoon of pre-soaked kibble with the chicken and see if she will go for that? If she doesn't, try only a few pieces of soaked kibble and mash it up/mix it with the chicken well so that she has to eat it to get her chicken. If she will eat it, you could maybe gradually increase the kibble little by little. .Tibbe is such a willing eater, it is hard to imagine one that won't but my first Yorkie, Scotty, was extremely picky as a puppy when I first got him so I do know how finicky they can be. However, Scotty eventually got tricked into eating some kibble to get his chicken and gradually graduated to eating nothing but kibble with the occasional veggies and meat added. But I really had to start out baby steps and just let him go hungry for an almost whole day after he got to be about 5 mos. old once I started adding the tiny bits of kibble. Eventually, he ate it after I just put some of it in his mouth and he discovered how hungry he really was and how welcome that taste of food was. Those picky eaters can drive you crazy.
