Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'chicken' specifies the source/type and 'stock' names the simmered liquid, so a learner who knows both words can infer it is stock made from chicken. This noun–noun compounding pattern is common in English and across languages in culinary contexts, making the expression immediately understandable at B1.
Etymology
Chicken stock comes from cooking where pieces of chicken and bones are cooked slowly in water to make a rich, tasty liquid called stock. So, chicken stock now means that liquid used as the base for soups and sauces.
