Would it be possible to put this straight into sous vide pan, in original packaging, from freezer? If so, any advice about cooking temp and time is welcome!

No, that packaging isn’t food safe for cooking. You should remove the package and reseal in sous vide safe bags.

While you can sous vide this in its original packaging it’s almost always discouraged since you don’t know if the seams/sealing will survive or if the plastic will leach unhealthy chemicals when heated.
The safe option is to repackage the chicken in something rated for sous vide (e.g., food grade bags for sous vide, freezer type Ziplock bags).

You should probably season your chicken first.
