I feel your discomfort.

If you cook it to an internal temp of 165 F for 10 minutes, it should kill off any salmonella. Be careful not to cross-contaminate (wash utensils, hands and anything else that comes in contact with the raw chicken in hot soapy water before allowing it to touch anything else).

Thank you to my high school Home Economics teacher.
