In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and cook until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring constantly for about 1 minute to create a roux.
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Cook until the mixture starts to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the cream of chicken soup and heavy cream, mixing well. Bring to a simmer.
Add the shredded chicken to the skillet, stirring to coat the chicken with the gravy. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, or until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble the Haystacks:
To serve, place a scoop of cooked rice on each plate.
Top with a generous portion of the chicken and gravy mixture.
Let everyone customize their haystacks with their choice of toppings.
Tips:
For a bit of heat, you can add a dash of hot sauce or some cayenne pepper to the gravy.
If you prefer a lighter version, you can substitute the heavy cream with milk or a dairy-free alternative.
This meal is not only delicious but also allows for creativity and personalization, making it perfect for family dinners or gatherings. Enjoy building your own haystack!
