Could my cat have gotten food poisoning?

I gave her some chicken that was almost a week old. I had it for dinner last night too but boiled it in the soup. She started acting weird last night. Very lethargic and she didn't sleep with me, which was odd. This morning she's very listless.

Or is there some cat disease going around?

Don't try to figure out what is the cause of her listlessness. Get her help.

an outdoor cat? Cats can get bird flu and it can be dangerous for them. Week old cooked chicken? I think I have read before you should not keep/eat chicken after three days. I would definitely take her to the vet. Hope she feels better soon.
