A secure chat promises confidentiality between the conversing parties - no one else can read the conversation in transit. It is also about authenticity - whereby all parties can be confident they are chatting with each other. Theses properties are usually achieved through end-to-end encryption and the chat record is not accessible to the service provider (e.g. Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Facebook do not offer these services in their chat programs). Take a look at the Secure Messaging Scorecard from EFF to see how they rate various chat clients.
The standard for a two-party secure conversation is called OTR - Off the record messaging and several popular chat clients offer it, including Pidgin with OTR for Windows and Linux, Adium for Mac, Jitsi for all common desktop operating systems. The latter also includes secure audio and video conferencing. These clients work with your existing accounts on Google, Facebook, Yahoo, etc. and encrypt the conversation on the respective networks.
Several chat clients are available as an add-on to your web browser, including Cryptocat and Mega. There are several free messaging services offering similar encryption properties including Peerio and Telegram. All of the tools mentioned within are available as open source software and publicly disclose the encryption methods they employ in their software.
