Ingredients
16 ounces uncooked medium elbow macaroni
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast or thigh meat
1 large carrot, peeled and diced
1 cup ham, cubed
6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and coarsely chopped
14 ounces crushed pineapple
1 cup Eden or Velveeta Cheese, cubed
1/2 cup sweet pickle relish
1 cup raisins
1 onion, peeled and diced
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
1. In a pot over medium heat, bring about 4 quarts salted water to a boil. Add macaroni and cook for about
8 to 9 minutes or until firm to bite. Drain well. 
2. In a pot, add chicken meat and enough water to cover. Bring the water to a boil, skimming scum that
floats on top. Lower heat, cover, and simmer about 15 to 20 minutes or until cooked through. Drain from
the liquid, allow to completely cool and shred. Set aside.
3. In a pot, bring water to a boil. Add diced carrots and cook for about 30 seconds. With a slotted spoon,
remove from water and plunge into an ice bath until completely cool. Drain and set aside.
4. In a large bowl, combine macaroni, chicken, carrots, ham, eggs, crushed pineapple including packing
juice, cheese, sweet pickle relish, raisins, onions, mayonnaise, and sweetened condensed milk. Gently stir
together until evenly distributed.
5.  Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate for about 1 hour to cool completely and to allow flavors
to meld.
