But in first-half stoppage time, Giroud shook off his marker, Timm Klose, and sent a powerful header beyond Krul from Christian Pulisic's cross.
After the break, Krul tipped Pulisic's ferocious strike over via the crossbar, before denying Marcos Alonso and Willian as Chelsea were denied a second goal.
With 63 points, the Blues are in third position and four ahead of nearest rivals Leicester and Manchester United, who are in fifth. Norwich remains bottom on 21 points.
