I have a hard time envisioning a time where I would ever consider a tap with the chest to be the beginning of a dribble. One would have to consider that act to the beginning of player control and consquently, grant a timeout if one was requested. I'm not doing so in this situation and as such, I have nothing.

If someone allows all that action without attempting to take the ball away, then more power to them. Otherwise, I cannot imagine this happening without someone going after the ball.

Nothing I read was illegal.

First, a dribble is only started when it involves the hands.

Second, even if a player did the above action with their hands (batting a rebound away from other players, then catching it, then dribbling it) it would still be legal.
