Mel's Hawaiian Haystacks

 Mel's Kitchen Cafe Hawaiian Haystacks 

Made a huge batch of this for the missionaries (should have made more) but it turned out super tasty. No cream of chicken. I subbed the flour for corn starch and just add a bit less. I thought it looked pale but it went great with all our toppings including B's beloved pineapple and whipped topping.

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ½ cup finely chopped onion
• 3 cloves garlic; finely minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon pepper

• 1 cup chicken broth

• In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, 3-4 minutes. 
• Add the garlic and cook for about one minute, stirring, until fragrant.
• Combine the flour, broth, and milk in a blender (or use a handheld whisk and a bowl or liquid measuring cup) and blend until smooth. 
• Pour the mixture into the pan and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture simmers and thickens, 2-3 minutes. 
• Stir in the cooked chicken, salt and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often. 
• Season to taste with additional salt and pepper, if needed.Serve with all the toppings
