When you are in check during a game of chess can you checkmate while not protecting your king?

Yes. The only way is to move a piece so that it blocks your king from check and checks or attacks another piece of the opponent. Another way is for the king itself to attack the piece that is attacking it. Example is if the queen foolishly moves adjacent to the king without being protected by another piece, the king may capture the queen. It is not limited to simply moving out of check.

∙ 14y agoNo. when you come into a check, first move a piece to protect the king or move the king to a secure square.
"Note that there are three different possible ways to remove a check:
- Move the king away to a square where he is not in check.
- Take the piece that gives the check.
- (In case of a check, given by a rook, bishop or queen: ) move a piece between the checking piece and the king."

Is the king in chess your goal?
The goal in chess, or the object of the game, is to checkmate your opponent's king. A king is in checkmate when he is attacked and no matter what move he attempts to make he is still being attacked (or in check). There are three ways to get out of check: move the king to a safe square, capture the checking piece, or block with another piece. If a player is in check and cannot get out of check, he is in checkmate and has lost the game.
