Hawaiian Haystacks

Jump to Comments

This recipe is typically a very healthy and lowfat meal option.  It is also nice because there are a variety of toppings that can be used so there should be something to satisfy the taste of everyone in the family.  Here is the way we make it:

Hawaiian Haystacks

4 cups rice, cooked

1 cup skim milk

3 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded (I prefer to boil it in water with complimentary seasonings until tender)

2 cans cream of chicken soup, lowfat

1 green pepper, diced

1 bunch of green onions, diced

2 cups green peas, cooked

1 can crushed pineapple

Lemon Pepper

French’s Fried Onion Toppings

Other topping ideas: diced tomatoes, sliced mushrooms, raisins and chow mein noodles.

Boil and shred chicken.  Cook rice.  In a small saucepan, heat milk and soup.  Once it has thickened, add the shredded chicken.  Add lemon pepper to taste.  Let each person create his or her own haystack.  Layer rice, chicken sauce and a variety of vegetables and fruit.   Sprinkle with French’s Fried Onion Toppings or with chow mein noodles. 

Enjoy!
