A favorite.

My wonderful SIL introduced our family to this recipe while we were out vacationing in Colorado this past January. The first time I had it, I had just gotten over the flu so it wasn't my favorite thing ever. The second time I had it a few weeks later, it was. And ever since being pregnant, it is the one thing that I cannot get enough of. In fact the other night when I made this, I made enough for 6 people so that I could have leftovers. And leftovers again the next day ... and the next.



So ladies and gentlemen, here's what ya need to make Stack-ups.

Rice
Chicken (about 1 breast per person or so)
Cream of Chicken and Chicken Broth (equal parts, 1 can of each or 2 cans of each, you get the idea.)
Green onion
Celery
Shredded cheddar cheese
Pineapple
Coconut
Water Chestnuts (not pictured, because I forgot it this time)
Chow Mein Noodles
Salt. Lots of it.

Boil the chicken, then shred it. Mix the cream of chicken and chicken broth, heat it up. Then take the green onion, celery, and pineapple and cut them into small pieces. Then to make your plate you start with the rice, add your chicken, and then "stack" everything else on top. If it's your first time, I would recommend being brave and trying everything. Then you can figure out what you do/don't like for the second time around. But believe me, as weird as it sounds, the pineapple and coconut are my two favorite things. Finally, pour broth over top of everything and add salt. And lots of it. Mix it all together and enjoy ... heaven on a plate.
