Hawaiian Haystacks (with slow cooker option)

This recipe is SO easy and one of my favorites! Some people call these Chinese Sundaes. Everyone makes their sauce differently but this is my optimized version, not too thick, not too thin, just perfect. The best part is that each person can easily customize their own toppings. Serves 4-6 people.

Sauce: 1 (12-ounce) can shredded chicken (or 9 oz homemade shredded chicken + 1/3 cup water)

2 cans cream of chicken soup

1/2 can milk

Suggested Toppings: pineapple shredded coconut crunchy rice or chow mein noodles (I like La Choy Brand Rice Noodles) slivered almonds diced tomatoes diced green onions maraschino cherries shredded cheese

---

Combine sauce ingredients in medium saucepan (including water from can of chicken if using canned, the only kind of canned chicken I use is Sam's Club brand). Simmer for at least 5 minutes and keep warm until ready to serve. Spoon over white rice (I love jasmine rice for this) and top with favorite toppings.

Slow Cooker Variation: Cook with raw or frozen chicken in slow cooker on high or low until chicken easily shreds. Removed chicken to shred, then add back to sauce and stir before serving
