Hawaiian Haystacks with Instant Pot Coconut Rice

by

Hawaiian Haystacks are one of my favorite dinner recipes. In my family, we like to get creative with our toppings. We do the traditional coconut flakes, pineapple, and carrots. Then, we like to play around! Hawaiian haystacks are great because everyones gets to build their own plate with their favorite toppings. Dinner is best with variety. We also love ours on top of Coconut Rice! Recently, I have been working to develop how to cook coconut rice in the pressure cooker! Today, I am teaching you how I do it!

This time, we tried our recipe on top of some Coconut Rice in my pressure cooker! I have adapted this recipe from the pressure cooker recipes website! We loved it! The rice had such a great flavor and it really compliments the chicken in the haystacks. I absolutely love my pressure cooker! I am working to master a few new recipes that I can’t wait to share with you guys! In the mean time, lets get cooking this Coconut Rice in the Insta Pot!

Don’t have an Insta Pot yet? You need one. Really. I have been trying to decide how much I like mine, but I’ve decided that I really do love mine. It’s a great tool in the kitchen! I would highly suggest the Insta Pot to you! Have you decided that you need one too? Have no fear, let me make it easy for you! You can purchase yourself and Insta Pot right here! You’re welcome!

This recipe is similar to my families favorite Chicken Divan dinner recipe. If you like the Hawaiian Haystacks, you should try this recipe for dinner another night! From my kitchen to yours, let’s get cooking!
