Chicken Gravy:
Combine soup and broth in med sauce pan. Stir until lumps are out. Add chicken. Simmer until heated through.

Build your haystack!
Start with rice on the bottom, then chicken gravy. After that, top with any or all of the toppings. Last drizzle over french dressing.

Enjoy!

For me, the pineapple, the coconut, and the french dressing really made it delicious. I was surprised by all 3. And of course, loved the crunch from chow mein.
