  5. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid.
  6. Simmer for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the majority of the liquid has been absorbed.
  7. Remove the lid and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the surface.
  8. Recover the skillet for 2 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted and bubbling.
  9. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve directly from the skillet.
