Add Broth Gradually
Pour in a ladleful of the warm chicken broth and stir until it is mostly absorbed by the rice. Continue adding the broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently and allowing the rice to absorb the liquid before adding more. This process should take about 18-20 minutes.

Incorporate Cheese and Seasoning
Once the rice is creamy and al dente, remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper to taste. Mix until the cheese is melted and well combined.
