Stacie's Hawaiian Haystacks

Stacie made these for Lizzie's birthday dinner and they were YUM!
(What?  No chicken pillows?)

Chicken and sauce
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup flour
1/2 t. salt
3 cups milk
1-2 t. dry minced onion
1 t. garlic salt
1 (10 3/4 oz. can cream of mushroom soup
4 chicken breasts, cooked and cut into cubes

Cooked rice (at least 4 cups)

Toppings:
Chow mien noodles one 9.5 oz can
Grated cheese
Celery, sliced
Cooked peas
Mandarin oranges
Green onions, sliced
Pineapple chunks
Slivered almonds
Tomatoes, diced

coconut


Melt the butter in a saucepan.  Add the flour and salt and stir until it is bubbly.  Add the milk and cook until thickened, stirring constantly.  Add soup and then the chicken.  Simmer on low for 15 minutes.  Serve with rice, chicken sauce and toppings.  Serves 6-8.

Hint:  Stacie likes to grill a lot of chicken on her "George Forman" grill, cut it in cubes and put it in bags of 2 cups or 4 chicken breasts in the freezer.  It makes it easy to make this recipe because she makes the sauce and throws in the chicken and it is all ready.
