Morphology
The meaning 'a sandwich consisting of chicken' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'chicken' (meat) with 'sandwich' (filling between bread). This noun-noun compounding is literal and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Chicken sandwich comes from the simple image of putting chicken between two pieces of bread to make a sandwich you can hold and eat with your hands. So it literally means 'a sandwich with chicken'.
