Answers:
you should be fine. I once ate a half a pound of raw chicken on accident (Its a long story) and I was fine. Raw chicken CAN carry salmonella, but even that is very rare. It sounds very very very unlikely that any of the uncooked meat you ate in the chicken brest would even have enough bacteria in the first place to cause salmonella. If it was actually as small as you say it was, I would just ignore it. However, keep an eye out for symptoms of slamonella (vomiting and LOTS of diarrhea) and notify your doctor right away of your experience with raw chicken. A small course of antibiotics should fix you in about 2 days.
