1. Start by making the meatballs. Add all meatball ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix with hands until all ingredients are combined. Don't over mix, it will make the meatballs dense. Heat a Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat with olive oil. Form meatballs and drop into the pot. Turn meatballs to cook on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from heat to a plate and set aside. Pro Tip: To make the meatballs extra delicious -- saute the onions and garlic in olive oil before putting them in the meatballs.
2. Add the chicken breast cubes and add salt and pepper. Let brown on all sides for about 8 minutes total. Remove from heat to a plate and set aside.
3. Add Italian sausage and let cook only for about 4 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon into small pieces. Lower heat to medium and add onions, garlic, salt, pepper, oregano and crushed red pepper flakes. Let cook for about 5 minutes, until onions are translucent.
4. Add tomato paste and red wine. Bring to a simmer and let cook for about 5 minutes. Add all tomatoes, oregano, bay leaves, and a good amount of salt and pepper. Add chicken and meatballs back to the pot. Bring to a simmer. Lower heat and cover. Let simmer for 1 and a half hours.
5. Serve with crusty bread or over pasta.
