A slight chance = something is unlikely to happen. It could do, but most likely won't.
e.g. There's a slight chance he could win.
Fat chance = dismissive and used casually in speech. It means that you think something is very unlikely to happen, or even that it's foolish to think that's the case.
e.g.
- I bet Germany will win the World Cup.
- Fat chance! They're rubbish at football.
or
- Do you think Lady Gaga will win the Oscar?
- Well there's a fat chance of that happening. Rachel Weisz is a much better actress.
(Just examples, I don't think these sentences are true :P )
