HAYSTACKS


This is a simple make your own plate meal. You can easily serve a crowd with this dish and picky eaters can choose what they want. I've listed several toppings that we like but you can add whatever suits your taste.

HAYSTACKS

Perfect rice:

1 c. rice
3 c. water

Add above ingredients to rice steamer. An easy way to get perfect rice is to remember the 3 to one rule: 1 cup rice + 3 cups water.

Chicken:

2 chicken breasts
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can water
1/4 - 1/2 t. curry powder if desired

Place chicken, soup, water, and curry in slow cooker. When it's done, dice the chicken and add it back into the gravy.

Toppings:

shredded cheddar
nuts (we like salted almonds or cashews)
diced celery
toasted coconut
diced, fresh tomatoes
chow mein noodles
pineapple tidbits
mandarin oranges
green onions

To assemble start with rice, then chicken & gravy, then toppings.

Another hit. Believe it or not I have never had these before. Child #2 loved them. She had every topping.
