Rub some margarine on her paw, a good blob of it. She will lick it off and it will lubricate the food and help it go down.
This is also the way to treat against hairballs :)
Keep an eye on her breathing. In the future days you may want to wet the food, let it soak in and feed it to her. Or give her canned food, her throat may hurt.

"Open the cat's mouth & pull the cat's tongue forward. See if it possible to remove the object with a finger sweep. Don't perform a blind finger sweep as you may push the object further down. Be careful not to be bitten. If this is not possible, you will have to continue onto the Heimlich maneuver below;
Pick up your cat & hold his back against your stomach, with his head up & his feet hanging down.
Place your fist just underneath the rib cage, you will feel the soft, hollow place easily.
Give four forceful thrusts with your fist (not your arms) inward towards your belly, while also applying an upwards pressure at the same time.
Check the mouth for the object with a finger sweep. If the object has been dislodged, it is no longer necessary to perform the Heimlich maneuver. If he is still not breathing, perform another check of the mouth as the object may have been dislodged enough to grab it with your fingers. If it still hasn't been dislodged perform the Heimlich maneuver again.
Check the ABC (airway, breathing & circulation), and perform artificial respiration or CPR if necessary.
Seek veterinary attention immediately. Even if the object has been dislodged it is still strongly urged you see your veterinarian to give your cat an overall check.
Do not practice this procedure on an animal or person. Only use when necessary."

Feed it some bread and plenty of water. Watch it closely that it doesn't choke on the bread as well.
Or you could wait for it to dissolve, your cat will probably hack it up on its own though.

it sounds mean, but i would make her drink water- it will help dissolve it. You could stick her face in water over and over, or pour a little water down her throat

Make her drink some water or maybe call your vet.
