This Provençal Chicken & Potato Stew is a delicious and hearty meal that is perfect for a cozy dinner at home. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the vegetables - including swiss chard and zucchini - add a healthy dose of fiber and nutrients. The stew is made with tomato paste and red wine vinegar, which give it a unique and tangy flavor. It's perfect for a chilly evening, and leftovers can be enjoyed for lunch the next day.

Instructions

1.	Begin by seasoning the chicken with salt and pepper.
2.	Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large pot or dutch oven over medium-high heat.
3.	Add chicken to the pot and cook until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside on a plate.
4.	Add the chopped onion and garlic to the pot and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
5.	Add the tomato paste and stir it around the pot to coat the onions and garlic. Cook for about 1-2 minutes.
6.	Add the red wine vinegar and stir well to combine.
7.	Add the chicken (and any juices that have accumulated on the plate) back to the pot.
8.	Add the chopped swiss chard and diced potatoes to the pot, along with just enough water to cover the chicken and vegetables (about 2 cups).
9.	Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cover the pot and reduce heat to low, simmering for about 30 minutes.
10.	Add the diced zucchini to the pot and cook for another 10-15 minutes, until the potatoes are fully cooked and the chicken is tender.
11.	Serve the stew hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
