Chain skipping or something else?

When I ride my 2018 Domane SL 5 Disc I notice that occasionally when I go from coasting to pedaling I'll hear and feel some kind of noise/feeling from the chain on the chain ring that suggests that the chain has not been seated correctly on the chain ring. This will only happen once after I have shifted the front deraileur. Once it happens, it doesn't happen again until I shift. Oddly enough, it doesn't happen immediately after I shift but sometime down the road after I coast and then resume pedaling. I don't think it's a chain skip because I do not feel the pedals moving forward. I've checked the chain length with my Park tool and it is not stretched. What the heck is going on here? Can the deraileur be misadjusted so that the chain does not seat properly on the chain ring?
