You could try feeding larger pieces (like the leg and thigh attached together) which would force her to reduce it to swallowable pieces.
Or feed smaller pieces--chunks you're comfortable with her swallowing as is.
Or try feeding it frozen. That will slow down some dogs and force them to chew it.
I understand your concern. Two of mine gulp their raw food too. Fanny and Ellie barely chew anything. Only Luca chews his food. My experience has been: if they can swallow it, they can digest it. Otherwise, it comes back up for more chewing.
Took me a long while to get comfortable with that. I still cringe a bit when Fanny swallows a whole chicken wing! But nothing bad has ever happened here. Dogs don't really have teeth that grind food into mush like people's teeth do. Their teeth only need to reduce their food into hunks they can swallow.
Watch Taedyn (and her poop) to make sure everything seems okay for the next day or so. I think it will be. I always watch mine when they eat, just in case something would happen and I need to do something (what, I don't know.) Again, I never have had to...but I still don't leave them alone to eat.
Perhaps as she gets more used to the raw diet and it isn't such an exciting new thing she'll slow down.
