Jose Mourinho's men went into their clash with Palace needing a win to take the crown - and duly delivered with a 1-0 victory to kick-start the celebrations at Stamford Bridge.
PFA Player of the Year Eden Hazard got the only goal of the game, heading in the rebound after Julian Speroni had saved his penalty.
The Blues had one hand on the trophy after their 3-1 win at Leicester in midweek, coming on the back of a 0-0 draw with Arsenal.
They have led the way at the top since August 30 and have now won four Premier League titles - three of which have come under Mourinho.
Wednesday's win at Leicester extended the gap at the top to 13 points ahead of Manchester City, before the title was wrapped up in front of their home support.
