Chelsea took the lead in the 14th minute when Lucy Bronze's shot hit the post before Sandy Baltimore pounced on the rebound to beat City goalkeeper Khiara Keating.
Sonia Bompastor's side doubled their lead in the 38th minute when Nathalie Bjorn headed home from Baltimore's corner and Mayra Ramirez added a third five minutes later, finishing off Lauren James's cross.
Chelsea, who have played City four times this month, beating them in the League Cup final and 2-1 in the Women's Super League, set up a semi-final showdown with holders Barcelona, who earlier thrashed Wolfsburg 6-1 to complete a 10-2 aggregate win.
