Key strategic elements to consider when playing Chen:

Bring a Sentry Ward or two to the lane to unblock the camps. Chen`s laning impact is directly related to summon usage.
If you find Harpy Stormcrafter, you will have massive kill potential with the slow from Penitence.
Aside from using summons to harass on the lane, you can gank with them, stack camps, control runes, block camps and even snipe couriers.
Keep an eye on the map and save your teammates in trouble by using Hand of God.
You want to group up early with your team and make use of your summons and auras to play aggressively.
When not much is happening on the map, you can split push lanes with your summons.
Look to farm and play greedy once you have level 3 Holy Persuasion. An early timing on Mekansm into Solar Crest lets you snowball the game.
You can unsummon a creep with Holy Persuasion even on the other side of the map once they have done their split-push job to prevent the enemy team from farming them and also not have them take up space in your army.

Main skill and item combo order: Penitence => Attack => Hand of God
