I recently installed Chrome on Ubuntu, and I can run Chrome via google-chrome
on the command line.
However, how can I put a Chrome icon on my dock?

Search for Chrome in the menu and drag it to the dock.
Doing this, you don't need the command line at all.
Right click on the icon in the dock while it's running and select lock/add to favorites.
Create a desktop file (e.g. chrome.desktop) on your Desktop and insert the following content into that file:
#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Exec=/usr/bin/google-chrome
Name=Google Chrome
Icon=/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/google-chrome.png
Make it executable by running this command:
chmod +x ~/Desktop/chrome.desktop
Add it to the launcher:
cp ~/Desktop/chrome.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/
