The small amount of garlic present on the chicken shouldn't be enough to cause any anemia problems. If he is not used to getting chicken he may have some digestive upset, but otherwise, I don't think he'll have any problem. Do be sure to keep an eye on him just in case and get him to the vet right away if he develops diarrhea, vomiting, loses his appetite or becomes lethargic.
