Yes, you can file Chapter 13 with any amount of regular income, so long as you can make a high enough monthly payment so your creditors receive as much as they would get in a Chapter 7 case, and those entitled to receive 100% payment will get that amount over the term of your plan (36-60 months).
Examples of debts required to be paid 100% are recent taxes, mortgage arrears, and any secured debts being paid in full during the plan term.
You will need a bankruptcy attorney to successfully handle a Chapter 13 case, and they can give you more specifics on what your payment would likely be.
