Slow Cooker Hawaiian Haystacks
This recipe for Hawaiian Haystacks is an older classic recipe that I like to make and bring to a church potluck. I make up the chicken mixture in my slow cooker and bring it to the potluck along with some cooked white rice and a great selection of toppings.
By setting out several toppings, guests can then can build their own haystacks just the way they want by getting themselves some rice, spooning some of the creamy chicken mixture over top and then adding whatever toppings they want.
Some of my favorite Hawaiian Haystack Toppings:
This is always a favorite and I am often asked for the recipe several times by the time the potluck is over.
Potluck Tip:
At a potluck, people usually get smaller servings then they would get if eating something as a main dish. Guests usually try and get a small spoonful of everything offered at the potluck. So this recipe as written serves 8 people as the main course. But will serve closer to 16 to 20 people at a potluck. If you are serving more feel free to double the recipe.
Hawaiian haystacks are also a big hit at home too with my family. I think it is because the kids can personalize their haystacks however they want. My son loves to add hot sauce to his and my daughter likes to top hers with sweet chili sauce!

Perfect! We are doing a church gathering as well. I’d like your opinion on how many this feeds and also how many cups of cooked rice do you plan per person?
About 1 cup of cooked rice per person is usually a good portion size. So that would be 1/2 cup uncooked rice.
