I have right clicked the Chrome tray icon and accidentally clicked 'Hide from tray' instead of 'Quit'. I tried looking into 'Task bar' -> 'Notification area – select which icons appear on task bar', but Chrome is not in there.

Go to Settings > System and check the box to "Continue running background applications when Google Chrome is closed". That should bring the icon back.
