Can you do a Hawaiian Haystacks bar? Then she can put on what she's okay with? I don't have a PC recipe, but the gravy/sauce part could be made ahead and warmed up in the DCB, and then use all the tools to cut up and prepare the toppings. Use the Rice Cooker Plus for the rice (and she can just leave the rice out for her own portion).

Okay, here's the recipe I like to use (there's a ton of variations people come up with, but I'm partial to this one...):2 cans cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup water
1 cup milk
3 cups cooked, chopped chicken (you can cook the chicken in the DCB and then chop w/ salad choppers)Combine all ingredients in medium saucepan (or I've also done this in a crockpot to fix it and forget it...if you want this for a home recipe and not for a show--but the saucepan is fastest) Since owning the DCB, I haven't tried it...I need to one of these days. I'm sure it would be a fine substitute for the saucepan.Simmer about 8-10 minutes, until heated through. Serve over rice (this recipe calls for 4 cups cooked rice), and top w/ whatever toppings your family likes.Here's the toppings I usually like (and others that people request):
chow mein crunchy noodles
chopped bell pepper
chopped green onions
chopped celery
slivered almonds
coconut
shredded cheddar cheese
pineapple tidbits
tomatoesThis is a large recipe and can go far for a show and your family. I have doubled it for church events. But it's so yummy and simple. And people can customize their own serving.

Hi there! I would love to help you out with some delicious and gluten-free Hawaiian luau recipes. How about a grilled pineapple and chicken skewers with a teriyaki glaze? You can also make a refreshing mango and avocado salad with a citrus vinaigrette. And for dessert, a coconut milk panna cotta with tropical fruit compote would be the perfect ending to a luau feast. Let me know if you need any specific measurements or instructions. Happy cooking!
