Hawaiian Haystacks {without the cream of blob soup}



I love this meal because it is SO fast! And very versatile-you can put any kind of toppings on it. The possibilities are endless! I also wanted to try a recipe that did not use the Cream of Chicken Soup--bleh! That stuff is so not good for you! This recipe turned out great, and tasted so yummy!!!



It made so much, I brought the leftovers to school with me :)




Servings: 4
Ingredients:
2-3 Cups brown rice
3 chicken breasts
3 Tbl Butter
1/2 Onion-chopped
3 Cloves garlic: finely minced
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Pepper
1/4 C Flour
2 Cups Milk
1 C Chicken Broth

Instructions:
1. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and raw chicken. Saute both until the onions  are soft and the chicken is cooked through. About 5 to 6 minutes
2. Next add the garlic and cook for about one minute until fragrant.
3. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and chicken and stir to combine. Cook for about one minute to get rid of the starchy, flour taste
4. Slowly whisk in the milk and chicken broth. Cook stirring constantly and bring the sauce to a simmer. Add the salt and pepper and continue to cook until the sauce has thickened, about 5-8 minutes.
5. Serve the chicken over the rice and then top with whatever ingredients you would like: olives, tomatoes, pineapple, cheese, peas, mandarin oranges, chow mein noodles, coconut, water chesnuts, green onions, etc
