Skin is strong: You have to ingest the bug to get infected. The lining of the eyes is like your skin. It sounds like your risk is minimal or zero.

Possible but rare: you are more likely to get in infected from your hands, kitchen utensils, etc that have not been thoroughly cleaned and under cooked chicken
