Tyrique George was denied by goalkeeper Jacob Rinne in the first half, but the winner came in the 38th when Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall ran past three defenders to convert in off the left post.
In the May 28 final in the Polish city of Wroclaw, Chelsea will meet either the 2023 and 2024 finalists Fiorentina or Real Betis.
Chelsea can become the first club to win all three of Europe's current club competitions, having won the Champions League in 2012 and Europa League in 2013 and 2019.
