  Recent measurements of the resistivity in magic-angle twisted bilayer
graphene near the superconducting transition temperature show two-fold
anisotropy, or nematicity, when changing the direction of an in-plane magnetic
field [Cao \textit{et al.}, Science \textbf{372}, 264 (2021)]. This was
interpreted as strong evidence for exotic nematic superconductivity instead of
the widely proposed chiral superconductivity. Counter-intuitively, we
demonstrate that in two-dimensional chiral superconductors the in-plane
magnetic field can hybridize the two chiral superconducting order parameters to
induce a phase that shows nematicity in the transport response. Its
paraconductivity is modulated as $\cos(2\theta_{\bf B})$, with $\theta_{\bf B}$
being the direction of the in-plane magnetic field, consistent with experiment
in twisted bilayer graphene. We therefore suggest that the nematic response
reported by Cao \textit{et al.} does not rule out a chiral superconducting
ground state.
