A recipe is more than just a list of instructions.
We intrinsically know this deep in our bones when we long for food that tastes like home.

For me, that dish is chicken and ricespecificallythischicken and rice.
Simple Tip!
Save time by prepping the onion and celery while the chicken cooks.

Use tongs to remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside.
While the rice is cooking, break the chicken up into bite-size pieces.
Remove the pot from the heat and gently stir the rice to ensure all the liquid is incorporated.
If the rice is fully cooked but seems a little watery, drain the leftover liquid before proceeding.
Add the shredded chicken and soup and stir to combine.
Taste, adding salt if needed, then smooth the mixture into an even layer.
Bake, uncovered, until the top is set and lightly golden, about 30 minutes.
If you want a crustier top, broil for 2 to 4 minutes until the top is golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle with pepper, if desired, and serve.
