Instructions:

In a saucepan, cover the chicken breasts with water and bring to a boil. Allow the chicken to cook until done.
-
-
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the saucepan, let it cool, and then shred it into bite-sized pieces. Reserve the cooking liquid for later use.
-
In another saucepan, pour in the cream of chicken soup. Stir in enough of the reserved cooking liquid to achieve a thick gravy consistency. Be cautious not to add too much liquid as it will thin out as it heats. Add the shredded chicken to the gravy and heat it through.
-
While the chicken gravy is simmering, prepare the chopped ingredients. Place each ingredient in small bowls for easy serving.
-
To serve, arrange a cup of cooked rice on each plate. Allow everyone to customize their haystacks by adding their desired chopped ingredients on top of the rice. Options include celery, tomatoes, cheese, green onions, crushed pineapple, peanuts, and flaked coconut.
-
Finally, generously ladle the warm chicken gravy mixture over the toppings, creating a flavorful and comforting meal reminiscent of the good old days.
Enjoy the playful combination of flavors and textures in this classic dish, bringing joy to your taste buds and fond memories to your heart. Haystacks are not only delicious but also a fantastic way to encourage picky eaters to enjoy their veggies while indulging in a fun dining experience! π
