A Variation on the Amish Haystack

Posted on August 22, 2012 Written by Suzanne 1 Comment

A while ago, I had posted the recipe for Amish Haystacks. Here’s a variation on the theme–using chicken instead of beef. This recipe is from the Hard Rock Cafe…so you know it’s dee-lish! But you can definitely change this up to suit your tastes.

Great for a crowd–everyone can build their own custom haystack.

ingredients

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
6 cups shredded Romaine lettuce
1/2 cup carrots, julienned
1/2 cup corn
1 tomato, seeded and diced
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Sweet & spicy pecans (recipe follows)
Tortilla chips, broken into pieces
Ranch dressing

For the pecans

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
3 tbsp light corn syrup
1 1/2 tbsp sugar
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp (generous) freshly ground black pepper
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1 1/2 C pecan pieces
