In a large pot, bring chicken stock to a simmer. Keep warm over low heat, but DON'T boil.
Heat a Dutch oven/stock pot over medium heat; add oil, swirling to coat. Add onion; cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add rice and salt; cook 1 minute, stirring frequently. Add 1/2 c. stock; cook 2 minutes or until liquid is absorbed, stirring frequently. Stir in 1 1/2 c. stock; cook 4 minutes or until liquid is nearly absorbed, stirring constantly. Add remaining stock, 3/4 c. at a time, stirring constantly until each portion is absorbed before adding the next. This will take about 20-25 minutes. Reserve 1/3 c. stock at last addition. Remove pot from heat.
Stir in reserved stock, butter, pepper and Parmesan cheese.
Serve risotto garnished with fresh parsley and a splash of cream, if desired.
