TOTAL TIME
1
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, egg, bread crumbs, parmesan, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
4
Coat your hands with olive oil and roll the mixture into tablespoon-sized balls, placing them on the prepared baking sheet.
5
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until they are crisp and fully cooked.
6
While the meatballs cook, heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon until crispy, about 5 minutes, then remove it and set aside.
7
Drain off all but 1 tablespoon of bacon grease from the skillet.
8
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, or until softened and fragrant.
9
Stir in the minced garlic, chopped carrots, and sliced mushrooms, and cook for another 5 minutes, until the vegetables start to caramelize.
10
Add the tomato paste to the skillet and cook for 1 minute.
11
Pour in the red wine, chicken broth, bay leaves, and thyme sprigs, then season the sauce with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
12
Stir everything well and bring the sauce to a boil, then let it cook for 10 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
13
Add the cooked meatballs to the sauce, cover, and cook for 5 more minutes, allowing the meatballs to absorb the flavors.
14
Remove and discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs.
15
Stir in the chopped parsley and reserved bacon.
16
Serve the Coq au Vin Chicken Meatballs and sauce over a bed of mashed potatoes.
