It’s basically a box that was on the shelf, un refrigerated, that contains cooked chicken. How are they able to keep cooked chicken shelf stable for so long?

Nitrogen Gas.

Nitrogen gas also possesses the ability to displace oxygen, creating an oxygen-free environment that minimizes oxidation and extends the shelf life of packaged foods. Additionally, nitrogen gas inhibits microbial growth, ensuring the safety and quality of the products.

They have special packaging machines that are oxygen free.
