Leicester midfielder Danny Drinkwater scored a stunning late equaliser to preserve the foxes record of losing only three games this season.
The Foxes boss Claudio Ranieri was warmly embraced by Roman Abramovich before kick-off and received rapturous applause as he walked through Chelsea's guard of honour.
John Terry also joined in the applause – and later Chelsea fans urged the club captain to sign the one-year deal which was offered to him on Friday.
Kasper Schmeichel made four brilliant saves in the first half – the best from Willian – in a first half played in a party atmoshpere.
Chelsea took the lead after 66 minutes through a Cesc Fabregas penalty after ref Craig Pawson adjudged sub Jeffrey Schlupp had brought down Nemanja Matic.
Leicester charged forward and Drinkwater, who will be hoping to be included in England's 23-man Euro 2016 squad tomorrow, picked up a Wes Morgan layoff and lashed his long-range shot past Thibaut Courtois.
