Morphology
The adjective 'chunky' (thick, bulky) directly modifies 'heel' (the rear part of a shoe), so the meaning 'a wide, solid heel' is compositionally derivable from the parts. This simple adjective+noun pattern is common and predictable, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Chunky heel names a thick, wide heel on a shoe; chunky means blocky or heavy and heel is the back part of the shoe. Imagine a square block at the back giving steady support, so the phrase means a sturdy, stable heel that gives more 'balance' and 'comfort' than a thin heel.
