Creamy Chicken Hawaiian Haystacks

I grew up eating this dish. It has been in our families dinner rotation as long as I can remember. For our birthdays we get to pick our favorite meal that our mom makes the Sunday before our birthday. A few of my siblings always add this into the rotation. This was the first meal that my husband ate with my family before we were married. And even though it is not in our dinner rotation as much as it was growing up we have in every month or so. It is such a simple meal. My kids love it. They think it is fun because they can add whatever they want on it. And it is just a good yummy easy meal.

The other day I posted a “teaser” on Instagram asking people what their favorite Hawaiian Haystack toppings were. I got a good variety of answers. Some like it simple with just rice, sauce, and cheese. Others like pineapple and coconut. And one of my friends commented that she likes french fried onions. That became the buzz of the whole conversation. Everyone could not wait to try them on top next time they make Hawaiian Haystacks. And I am right there with them I cannot wait to make this again and will make sure that I have some french fried onions to top it off!

I personally like the works. Rice, sauce, cheese, all the toppings, plus more cheese, topped with sour cream and salt and pepper! So the possibilities are endless! I can’t wait to hear what you all top your Hawaiian Haystacks with!
