- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 cup uncooked white rice
- 2 tbsp butter for greasing dish

Instructions

- Pour the soup and rice mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.

- Remove from oven and let it rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.
Notes
For a golden top, uncover the dish during the last 10 minutes of baking. You can substitute cream of mushroom soup for cream of celery soup, or use chicken thighs instead of breasts for a juicier result. Adding sliced mushrooms or chopped onions can enhance the flavor and texture.
