Not to worry. In time the disgestive acids of your stomach will break down the bones so that is will be excremented via the feces. Our ancestors were big on eating meat to survive, so I believe that the human body has the evolved cpacity to digest a chicken bone.

What part of the chicken did you happen to eat?
