Step by Step Method
Step 1
To make Belgian Chicken Waterzooi, put butter and olive oil in a large Dutch oven or stockpot and place over medium heat until the butter bubbles.

Add shallots and cook 3 minutes.
Step 4
Add sliced leeks and fennel, and cook 3 minutes or until leeks turn soft.
Step 5
Add carrots, celery, potatoes, stock, beer, bay leaves, thyme, and cream, bringing mixture to a simmer.
