Chrome lately added Chrome App Launcher to the dock, in order to lunch installed chrome apps.

Can I create Alfred workflow in order to run them through Alfred?

Yes, you can.

They are stored in ~/Applications/Chrome Apps (where ~ is your user's home folder), so you can add them to a workflow action like 'Launch Apps/Files'.

The easiest way though to add an app to the 'Launch Apps/Files' is to search for it in Alfred and drag the Alfred result into the 'Launch Apps/Files' list.

If the Chrome App doesn't show in Alfred results at all, add ~/Applications/Chrome Apps to the 'Search Scope' in Preferences > Features > Default Results.

    Once I found that folder I found out that there are only two chrome apps in it. Others, which aren't can be used as link like `chrome-extension://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx`, so it did solve my issue, thank you. – vittore Apr 22 '14 at 14:02
  • This is not enough for web extension that are just links. I see them in Chrome App Launcher, but there is nothing in ~/Applications/Chrome Apps – uthark Jul 30 '14 at 20:54

    @uthark: If they're just links, you could just use the 'Open URL' action in an Alfred Workflow. – Matt Aug 07 '14 at 20:08

I have found that whenever the version of the Chrome app is updated, the "add ~/Applications/Chrome Apps to 'Search Scope'" strategy stops working. I solve this be rebuilding the OS metadata like so (button is grayed out because I just did this recently):
