Please tell me I’m not the only one feeling the back-to-school dinner burnout already? We’re a little over one week in and I find myself struggling to get dinner on the table each night. Not good people, not good.

More and more I find myself in a pinch and I have to rely on my pantry to get my family fed. Good thing I am a firm believer in a fully stocked pantry 🙂 It makes dinner time much less stressful. I’ve mentioned once or twice how my family loves casseroles – it’s true!

This casserole recipe uses a lot of pantry staples and a few fresh ingredients. The flavor is off the charts and is definitely a meal the whole family will enjoy. I was inspired by the traditional Hawaiian Haystacks recipe for this casserole but definitely put my own spin on it. I used my Cheesy Chicken Broccoli and Rice Casserole as a starting off point and took it in a whole new direction.

I love it when something good comes together so easy.

Pineapple, chicken, sliced almonds, water chestnuts, green onions, and rice are the core ingredients in the casserole. The rice is cooked in coconut milk making sure every spoonful is full of amazing flavor.

I used a number of canned ingredients in this recipe including pineapple chunks, coconut milk, water chestnuts, cream of chicken soup, and chow mein noodles. All ingredients that I regularly have in my pantry and for some reason, have never put together until now. Score!
