Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken on all sides, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, add diced bacon and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside with the chicken.
Add the diced onion and sliced carrots to the Dutch oven. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Mix in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, letting the tomato paste slightly caramelize.
Sprinkle the gluten-free all-purpose flour over the vegetables and stir well to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the red wine, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the gluten-free chicken stock, thyme sprigs, and bay leaves.
Return the chicken and bacon to the pot. Bring to a simmer, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
After 1 hour, add the quartered mushrooms and peeled pearl onions to the pot. Continue to cook covered for another 30 minutes, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
Once cooked, remove the thyme sprigs and bay leaves. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot with your favorite gluten-free bread or side dish.
