Is it possible to apply brick veneer to a brick chimney on the side of
a house? We would like to cover the red brick with grey brick veneer
to match our grey siding?

So, paint it.
Or apply a "cultured stone" product. http://www.culturedstone.com/

In the UK you would use "brick slips". Not sure what they are called in your
country. They are a bit like brick tiles. ...

Typically a mesh or similar is fixed to the wall then the brick slips are
stuck on. Finally they are "pointed" - a UK term for filling the gaps with
mortar.

You may want to apply a metal lath screen, apply a scratch coat of
mortar
and then mortar on the face brick.
Just a thought
