  17. Add 1 cup of the chicken stock to the rice and cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly, until absorbed.
  18. Continue adding stock, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly until absorbed before adding more.
  19. Cook until the rice is just tender, about 25 minutes.
  20. Stir in the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and the Parmesan and season with salt and pepper.
  21. If the risotto is too sticky, add a little more stock.
  22. Serve, garnished with chervil sprigs.
