Can you tell me what to do if i ate some chicken and i didn't look at my food when i was eating it but when i did i noticed the chicken(breast) was a little bit pink?

Not to worry: I am assuming you did some cooking of the chicken and that it was not over aged or slimy to the touch. Most organisms from chicken occur on the surface and not on the interior. And most have been processed to minimize contamination. A little pink in the center is almost certainly not a problem.
