Notes

 
CHICKEN : If the chicken breast you are using are really big (like the larger sized Costco or Sam's Club) then using 3 of them will be fine. For normal chicken breasts that you get in the grocery store, you will need 4 of them. 
Want it spicy? Use a can of hot green chilies. A packet of spicy taco seasoning. Add some chili powder or cayenne red pepper. Top the haystacks with jalapeños or hot salsa.
