Chaos theory describes nonlinear dynamic systems that under certain conditions exhibit a phenomenon known as: chaos. The idea is that even having known the initial state, there is a certain determination of randomness to be made.
Entropy, as it could relate to Chaos Theory would be the measurement of the quantity of information in a given random variable. However, the law of entropy - describes the point where the amount of free energy available is zero. Which still relates in a broad sense.
That is about as nutshell as I can get it without oversimplifying it.

Chaos theory deals with complex systems which are too difficult to be reduced to elementary forms. Such systems have a lot of parameters interacting with each other and thus cannot be isolated uniquely.
Entropy deals with the degree of randomness in a system, randomness is central to Chaos theory.

In mathematics and physics, chaos theory describes the behavior of certain nonlinear dynamical systems that under certain conditions exhibit a phenomenon known as chaos. Among the characteristics of chaotic systems, described below, is sensitivity to initial conditions (popularly referred to as the butterfly effect). As a result of this sensitivity, the behavior of systems that exhibit chaos appears to be random, even though the system is deterministic in the sense that it is well defined and contains no random parameters. Examples of such systems include the atmosphere, the solar system, plate tectonics, turbulent fluids, economics, and population growth.

chaos theory is a mathematical concept explaining that it is possible to get random results from normal equations. The main precept behind this theory is the underlying notion of small occurrences significantly affecting the outcomes of seemingly unrelated events.
