It's my understanding that describing a meeting with the adjective form of chance is grammatically correct. It implies that the meeting was unexpected and unplanned. Is that what it conveys to you or have you never heard this phrasing?

I have heard this used and "unexpected and unplanned" sounds about right. It might also depend on context.
