Not sure if you mean arriving at you at chest height or kicking it to travel at chest height? So if it comes to you at chest height dont try to kick it, use your chest to control it, by breathing out on impact and leaning back a little, allow it to drop then use your foot. To kick it, say a free kick, get your foot low, follow through and lean backwards to get lift. The lower your foot gets under the ball the more lift you get. Dont forget - follow through and lean backwards. Arms out for balance.
