Consider designing connected text frames on the chapter-opener master page.

Use two text frames for the title:

The first text frame is tall enough for the text, and just wide enough to contain

"Chapter ##"

up to the maximum number of digits you expect the chapters to run.

The text frame below it is tall enough for the text, and plenty wide enough to contain

"Really Interesting Stuff."

Connect the first frame to the second, and the second one to the main text frame by selecting the first one (Ctrl+Click) then selecting the second one (Ctrl+Click), then using Format > Customize Layout > Connect Text Frames. Then deselect all and connect the second text frame to the main text frame.

This lets the text flow through the frames without using non-breaking spaces to hold the second line of the text together in a block, so there won't be line-wrap problems in cross-references that need to wrap.
