The principal parts are in divided usage: the past tense is either chided or chid, and the past participle is chided, chid, or chidden, with the weak verb form, chided, more frequently encountered in American English, chid and chidden in British

When combined with a preposition, chide most frequently takes for, as in We’ll chide him [for] his behavior, but others also occur—you can be chided on, about, or concerning your sloppy dress or chided with or about being late.
