Hawaiin Haystacks...or are they Utahn Haystacks...

Hey we had something really fun for dinner tonight! I don't live in Utah, therefore I had to be introduced to Hawaiian Haystacks by someone who grew up there. These are a fun treat for the whole family because you can pick and choose what you want on them. You start with a base of white rice and add a yummy creamy chicken in sauce. Then you pile on whatever else sounds good(see list below) and it looks like a giant haystack by the time you are done. Here is the EASY recipe for the chicken:

Hawaiian Haystacks

2 cans cream of chicken soup

2 frozen chicken breasts(I used thighs, cheaper and they were still really good)

milk (I did not end up adding any since it was already a good consistency)

Put chicken in the crock pot and then cover with soup. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Remove chicken from the crock pot and shred or dice the chicken and return to the crock pot. Add enough milk to make the consistency of gravy.

Serve the sauce over cooked rice. Then top with any of the following toppings. If you don't have some of these don't worry, they will still be great. I thought coconut and pineapple sounded a bit odd, but I tried it and loved it!

shredded cheddar cheese
diced tomatos

pineapple tidbits
peas

sliced olives

diced green onion

chopped celery

shredded coconut

slice almonds

diced fresh mushroom

Chow mien noodles

mandarin oranges

diced green pepper

water chestnuts

cashews
