Hawaiian Haystacks or Chinese Sundaes

I saw this recipe in so many cookbooks and I thought it was disgusting.
I tried it for the first time at a church activity and I have to admit that I was completely wrong.
The moral of the story...never judge a recipe before trying it.

Baked bone in and skin on chicken breasts or thighs (Seasoned with salt, ground pepper and olive oil at 350 F 40-45 minutes depending on thickness of the breasts, cool down and shred) or just dice raw chicken breast and cook it in hot olive oil with salt and black pepper

Condensed cream of chicken soup undiluted
Water or milk
Salt
Ground pepper

Mix the cream of chicken with the desired amount of water or milk (it should have a saucy consistency). Add the cooked chicken, salt and ground pepper to taste; stir and heat up well.

OR

Hot chicken gravy instead


Cooked white or brown rice

Toppings:

Canned pineapple tidbits, drained
Canned mandarin oranges, drained
Canned water chesnuts, drained
Sliced ripe olives, drained
Chopped green bell pepper
Chopped green onions
Chopped tomatoes
Chopped celery
Chopped cilantro
Sliced almonds
Dried cranberries
Chow mein noodles or Bugles
Flaked coconut
Sour cream
Sweet and sour sauce
Soy sauce
Peas

Serve the sauce over hot cooked rice and top with the desired toppings.

Note: It is super tasty if you add plenty of sauce on top of the rice.
