Hawaiian Haystacks

These are always a favorite! 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. heavy 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.

Serve over rice and top with your choice of 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.

(The sauce is definitely worth the effort, but if you don’t have time to make it, you can warm up a can of cream of chicken soup thinned with a little milk.)
