Is 'chicken' an idiom?

Chicken is not an idiom, because an idiom is a phrase. Chicken, meaning afraid or cowardly, is a slang term. Slang is when you have a word (sometimes a couple of words) that local people use in a different way from the accepted meaning. Americans call someone 'chicken' not because they are domesticated birds that lay eggs and taste good fried, but because they act afraid.

What does the idiom She is the apple of her father's shoulder mean?
