Morphology
The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'chicken' (the meat) + 'stew' (a slow-cooked savory dish): it denotes a stew made with chicken. This noun–noun type expression is a regular, cross-linguistically common compounding pattern so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.
Etymology
Chicken stew comes from a simple kitchen picture: pieces of chicken cooked slowly in a pot of liquid, which is called a stew. That's why chicken stew means 'a dish of chicken cooked slowly with vegetables and seasonings'.
