A pile of fluffy rice topped with chicken, gravy and all your favorite toppings! Fully customizable, perfect for feeding a crowd!

This is the ultimate weekend dinner option. It’s fast, easy, and customizable! Plus, you can’t go wrong with chicken and rice. We also love cheesy chicken and rice, or chicken and rice soup for weeknight dinners.

Not actually Hawaiian…

Interestingly, this recipe is not actually from Hawaii. But it took on that name because it had some “Hawaiian” inspired ingredients like coconut and pineapple.

The “haystack” part of the name is because you pile all the ingredients on top of the chicken and rice, and it kind of looks like a haystack.

This dinner recipe has arrived, especially when I need something quick and easy on a weeknight in a pinch that will satisfy even my picky eater! I’m sure we can all use another easy dinner recipe to add to our meal rotation and these haystacks are perfect.

I love that Hawaiian haystacks can serve a great deal for a party or church event! The rice is not difficult to make a lot, the chicken and gravy are easy, and the toppings are easy too!

Plus, people can choose the toppings they want, so it’s basically impossible for them not to like it. 😉
