Oh no! The problem with this pad is that is could make him sick from the liquid from the raw chicken, or the pad can cause a GI obstruction. I would take your dog into the vet right away. The vet can determine if it's safe to induce vomiting to get the pad out of his stomach. Please take him into a vet now.
