I would say there are 2 keys, but just so I can agree with you, I'll turn it into 1.
The key to chipping, is to lead with your left side and make sure it continues to move throughout the shot.
In other words (for a right-handed golfer), don't ever let your right hand pass your left ... unless you really know what you're doing and have good club face control.
If we're giving chipping lessons, most higher handicap golfers should be familiar with the "Rule of 13" and should read & take to heart, everything Paul Runyon said about chipping. (Which allowed him to beat Sam Snead, 8&7, at the 1938 PGA Championship ... despite the fact that Snead could out drive him by 50-60 yards.)
