Part of the reason we cook is to kill harmful bacteria. If you don't cook chicken through, you can end up with loads more than when you started, which is bad.
If in doubt, stick to breast meat. When you think it's done stick a small knife into the center; if it comes out really-bloody-hot it's done.

Do you mean quince/membrillo jelly? If the pectins already in there, you may be doomed.
Two possibles- if you're not a vege, add gelatine. It's a cheat, but it'll set and the texture will be fine. I'm guessing the mix is pretty thick already, so start with 1/3rd of what you'd use for water. Soak gelatine- warm jelly to 50 ish degrees- add leaves. Stir and keep stirring periodically until cook.
Option B- put it back on the hob, add a shit load of sugar, and reduce it until it bloody well does as you want and sets. If the mix is already pretty sweet use glucose- won't affect the flavour so much. Though I'm not sure how this will play with the pectin- did you boil it/keep boiling it when adding the pectin?
