EDIT: Instant Pot version below - using frozen chicken! Also you can cook rice in the instant pot at the same time!
My kids adore this recipe.

I have nothing else to say.
Just . . . make it.
Gluten Free Dairy Free Hawaiian Haystacks
3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, chopped
3 Tbs. olive oil
2 c. chicken broth
2 c. milk of choice (I use coconut or rice)
2 tsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. salt
1/4 -1/2 tsp. pepper
1/4 c. arrowroot powder(This is used as a thickener. You could sub corn starch.)
1/2 c. cold water
1/2 c. cold water
Cook chicken breasts in oil. (Alternately you could boil them, then chop up and add. I have also successfully used canned chicken which makes it super fast!) Add broth and milk, whisking together. Add spices. Put arrowroot powder in a small bowl and slowly whisk in cold water until it is smooth and lump free. Add to the sauce and stir until incorporated. Add spices. Simmer while whisking until sauce thickens.

*Add frozen chicken, broth, rice milk, and spices to instant pot.
(**If you want to cook your rice in the IP also, see below for directions.)
*Cook on High Pressure (manual) for 15 minutes, then Quick Release pressure.
*When pressure has all released, remove chicken and shred.
*Before returning to pot, turn on "sauté" function.
*In small bowl whisk arrowroot powder and cold water till smooth.
*Add to broth/milk mixture and whisk.
*Return chicken to pot.
If you want to cook your rice in the Instant Pot at the same time:
* After adding chicken, broth, milk and spices to the Instant Pot, place your trivet on top of the frozen chicken.
*Place an oven safe bowl on top of trivet.
*Add 3 cups of rice and 4 1/2 cups of water to bowl.
*Continue with IP directions above.
PEASE NOTE: This will cook your rice perfectly for this meal, but you will get some broth in the rice, so it will be slightly flavored. (In case you wanted rice leftover for another meal and didn't want it flavored with broth.)
