Surface Forms
Morphology
The referential meaning — literally 'a (female-presenting) person who has a penis' — is directly composed from the constituents 'chick' + 'with' + 'a' + 'dick', so a B1 learner who knows those words can infer the basic meaning. It is slang and derogatory with sociocultural and pragmatic implications (used offensively about transgender or gender-nonconforming people), but those connotations affect appropriateness rather than the compositional transparency of the phrase.
Etymology
Chick with a dick comes from a literal description: chick is slang for a young woman and dick is slang for a male sex organ. So the phrase is used to mean 'a person who appears female but has male genitalia', and it is often offensive and controversial.
