Hawaiian Haystacks

Ingredients:
2 cups cooked and cubed (or shredded) chicken
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic, finely minced
1/4 cup flour
2 cups milk
1 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon salt
pepper to taste
hot cooked sticky white rice

Toppings:
shredded cheddar cheese
pineapple tidbits
chopped celery
sliced green onion
chopped tomatoes
coconut
chow mein noodles

Directions:

1. In a large sauce pan, saute the onion in the butter until soft and translucent. Add the garlic and cook for about one minute, stirring, until fragrant.
2. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir to combine. Cook over medium heat for one minute.
3. Slowly whisk in the milk and chicken broth. Cook, stirring constantly with a whisk, and bring the sauce to a simmer over medium. Add the salt and pepper. 
4. Add the chicken and simmering, stirring the sauce frequently, until the sauce has thickened, about 5-8 minutes.
5. Serve over hot rice with toppings.

Notes:

I love this recipe because it's all from scratch, and the sauce is not out of a can. So fresh and healthy! Also, quick and easy prep.
