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!
This has been one of our family favorites for years! Funny that my son in law swore for years every time he came to visit this is what we made. :) It is nice if you don't know what people like, because they can do their own thing and we make our sauce the same way you do J. Easy and very good!
