He'll most likely be fine.

The breast was probably cooked through.

and even if it wasn't, chances are the chicken didn't have anthing like Salmonella

Nothing you can do about it now. You'll soon find out if he's fine or not. So try not to worry.

A few hours and you will know. If he's fine in the morning then you can relax.
Most chickens are now vaccinated against salmonella.
