I never used a Ledger before but I believe the second output represent the change address, you're basically sending everything you have. Your first address will receive the specified amount while the remaining amount will be 'refunded' to this 'random address' that you own.

"This is likely because you are using a segwit address with an old version of the chrome application that's not adapted to segwit."

Check out the link below to the ledger wallet's support page, you'll find a detailed explanation of what they call a "change address" which is the 2nd output you saw...
