Introduction

Waterzooi literally translates to “watery mess” but this dish is anything but.

This rich and creamy classic Belgian comfort food has been lightened up with a quick swap of the traditional full cream for evaporated milk.

It’s a hug in a bowl.

Ingredients

4 cups chicken stock
2 skinless chicken breasts
2 leeks

Parsley to garnish

Directions

Step 3
Remove the chicken and sit aside to cool slightly before cutting into chunks.

Step 5
Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat and saute the vegetables, along with the rosemary, until softened.
Step 6
Pour the chicken stock into the pot and bring to a simmer.
Step 7
Return the chicken breast pieces to the pot.
Step 8
Place the egg yolk and tapioca starch into a small bowl and whisk together to form a thick paste.

Add ¼ cup of light evaporated milk and whisk until combined.
Step 10
Pour this mixture into the pot and then add the remaining light evaporated milk.
Step 11
Stir well over medium heat to thicken.
