Hawaiian Haystacks





These are foods from my youth!  My mom used to make these and they were great.  I completely forgot about them until I recently received a cookbook called Real Mom Kitchen.  It's great, really good, easy, quick, food that I usually have ingredients for right in my kitchen.  I tweaked this recipe because their version just used milk and canned soup but I wanted it more flavorful.

1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can of milk
2 cups cooked chicken (I actually used chicken I had leftover from making chicken tostadas)
1-2 tsp chicken bullion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
salt and pepper to taste (the chicken bullion powder adds salt so check before adding more!!!)

mix all ingredients except for chicken in a sauce pan and cook until simmering.  Add Chicken and cook until hot.

toppings:

cheese, pineapple, green onions, olives, cocoanut, tomato, celery, almonds, mushrooms, chow mein noodles, peas, mandarin oranges, raisins, green peppers, water chestnuts, cashews, soy sauce, the list is as long as your imagination.

Serve chicken "gravy" over rice and top with toppings that you like.  the ones I used are highlighted in red.
