There isn't really a "recipe" per say for Hawaiian Haystacks except for the sauce, the rest is up to you as long as you keep it Hawaiian that is. I get lots of compliments on my sauce and people ask for the recipe often. It just makes me laugh because I can't take credit for it. You will see when you read it.
Chicken Cream Sauce:
- 2 cans Campbell's Cream of Chicken soup
- 1 can of milk
- 1 can Kirkland Signature premium chunk chicken breast (we just LOVE this chicken)
Stir together in a pot as you warm it on the stove. Done!
Prepare a pot of rice as your base. I always use our rice cooker which is super easy as well.
Toppings:
First are the must haves or it just can't be called Hawaiian,
- tidbit pineapple chunks, I prefer this size
- shredded coconut
Other Typical Toppings:
- shredded cheese
- sliced almonds
- diced onions, white and green
- diced peppers
- diced tomatoes
- sliced mushrooms
- black olives
- diced celery
Other things we have tried that we have liked:
- Chow Mein Noodles
- chickpeas aka garbanzo beans
- kidney beans
Now you build it how you like it. My husband loves it when I make meals like this.
-Put the rice on your plate or bowl first, add the sauce, and put on any toppings that you would like.
If I am in the mood for this I always check that I have the essentials first or I won't make it. The rice, sauce, pineapple and coconut. Whatever else I put out is whatever I have in the fridge and cupboard at the time. Always turns out great!

Strawberry Cream Smoothie
Another Smoothie favorite of my family. This one fits more in the dessert category than a healthful meal since we use ice cream, but it is GOOD.
I used my Blendtec and did a full jar so the measurements are for quite a bit since my family is so large but you can modify it as you wish. I just love that about smoothies, everything is to taste and relative, easy peasy!
Strawberry Cream Smoothie:
- 3 cups milk
- 1 whole peeled banana
- 4 scoops vanilla ice cream or vanilla frozen yogurt
- 1/2 package instant vanilla pudding powder
- 2-3 cups frozen strawberries
Use the smoothie setting and it comes out beautifully.
