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!
