Hawaiian Haystacks

We don't make these often because they require several ingredients I don't always keep on hand, but they are always a favorite when I do! They are not hard to throw together and they please even the picky eaters because they can top with whatever they like.

Chicken Sauce:

6 Tbsp. butter

6 Tbsp. flour

2 cans chicken broth (3 cups)

1 c. whipping cream

Melt butter, remove from heat. Add flour and broth. Stir in whipping cream. Stir constantly over medium heat until it thickens. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add some cooked chicken.

(Don’t have time to make the sauce? Use cream of chicken soup thinned with a little milk.)

Layer rice, sauce, and toppings.

Topping suggestions:

grated cheese, pineapple chunks, sliced olives, sliced mushrooms (fresh or canned), sweetened flaked coconut, green onions, chopped fresh tomatoes, chow mein noodles, green peppers, hard boiled eggs, and slivered almonds.
