I think, it is far more easier to say 

 \let\chaptername\relax 

in the premable are of the document which will suppress the string
'Chapter'.

Also there is a convenient way to redefine to something else if one
wants some other string in place of 'Chapter'. You might use the
following command:

 \def\chaptername{<your_string>}

Best.
