Killer traditional French dish featuring fresh vegetables and a sauce made with Calvados, a French applejack brandy. Any applejack will work if need be, but Calvados is widely available and worth searching out. I have altered this recipe to be a bit healthier, with fewer calories and less saturated fat. If you prefer the traditional ingredients, substitute 6 T butter for the olive oil, and cream for the fat free half and half.

Steps:
- Cut peeled potatoes into 1 1/2" cubes; peel carrots and cut in half, cut each half into thirds; trim beans and cut into 1 1/2" lengths; cut peeled onions in half, if larger, cut into quarters; cut zucchini in half lengthwise, then cut each half into quarters.
- Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper; heat 2 T oil in skillet over medium heat; add chicken skin side down and cook 10 minutes until browned on one side.
- Place all vegetables except zucchini in salted water and bring to a boil; boil 1 minute and drain.
- When chicken is browned on one side, turn and cook another 5 minutes.
- In another skillet, heat remaining 1 T oil and add drained vegetables and zucchini; add salt and pepper to taste, stir gently and cook about 5 minutes; vegetables should still not be tender.
