Aloha Oe

I spent my teenage years in Salt Lake City, Utah.

 It is where I learned about homekeeping and cooking, helping transform me into the domestic diva that I am. (the Big Man is laughing his rump off right now over that!) I can make awesome funeral potatoes, green jello salad and Hawaiian Haystacks.

Hawaiian what?

Hawaiian haystacks.

Its like a do it yourself meal. My husband has made a variation of this for years, calling it his goulash. It’s a super easy, filling meal that allows for everyone at the table to put their own personal touch on it. I love it because it cooks up quickly and is filling, nutritious and yummy.

 

4 cooked chicken breasts, chopped (can also use tuna-omit the broth)

½ c broth

1 small can cream of chicken soup

1 tsp Italian seasoning

4 c cooked rice, warm

 

Toppings:

Pineapple

Chow mein noodles

Diced tomatoes

Nuts

Diced green onions

Diced peppers

Whatever you can think of!

 

Add chicken and broth to a large skillet or sauté pan. Simmer until the broth is reduced. Add soup and seasoning until cooked through. To serve, put toppings in bowls on the table. Put a scoop of rice on a plate, top with the chicken mixture. Let your family decorate their haystacks
