In a heavy bottomed stock pot or large sauté pan, melt butter. Add leeks and sauté till tender. Add chicken and heat up with the leeks for a few minutes. Add vinegar to deglaze pan, turn down heat and add calvados; careful not to stand to close to pan because it will ignite. After flames are reduced add the other liquids and apple.
