If you want a nice refreshing summer meal...this is it. Hawaiian Haystacks ... a favorite in our family.
It's kind of a build your own thing so everyone can add only what they like.
This meal also works out great for a large crowd.
You layer everything on top of fresh steamed rice and then pour the sauce over all...topping with chow mein noodles.
Here is how you make the sauce;
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 cup chicken broth
1 (8 oz) pkg. chives and onion cream cheese
2 cups cooked chopped chicken (optional..my family likes it just as well without it)
Combine all ingredients and simmer for 8-10 minutes
Toppings;
grated cheese
diced tomatoes
chopped celery
chopped green pepper
slivered almonds
sliced green onions
pinapple tidbits
mandarin oranges
shredded coconut
And there you go girls...
Hawaiian Haystacks.
enjoy:)
Looks yummy! I think I'll try it.
ReplyDeleteThis recipe reminds me so much of a dish my mom used to make called Chop Stick Tuna. It was really good and your Haystacks look good too. I think I'll have to try it out.
ReplyDeletei'm intrigued with the addition of the flavored cream cheese to the sauce. and i've used all those toppings except mandarin oranges. i bet that's delicious. we'll be trying it for sure. thanks!
ReplyDeleteHawaiian Haystacks are one of Kenna's most favorite foods. Thanks for the sauce recipe. . . It's a new version I haven't seen before.
ReplyDeleteLooks so cool and refreshing and light! what a wonderful summer meal that is easy to make! thank you! I love mixing chicken w/fruit. I have a chicken salad in the fridge now. I always grill extra chicken breasts when grilling(boneless,skinless) and then add mayo, grapes, apple, celery, pecans, any kind of yummy fresh crunchy fruit/veggie. Great to snack on...
ReplyDeleteYum Yummy Lori! Thanks for the recipe -- I always forget what's in that sauce!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to make this when we go to the ranch. For sure.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds great.. I just wonder if my picky eaters will eat this... I plan on trying it.
