Place a large saucepan over medium heat.
Add the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth or chicken stock to the saucepan.
Whisk the mixture until smooth and fully combined.
Continue cooking, stirring often, until the mixture begins to simmer.
Add the uncooked instant rice to the saucepan.
Add the Parmesan cheese and black pepper.
Stir until the rice, cheese, and pepper are evenly distributed throughout the soup mixture.
Cover the saucepan with a lid.
Remove the saucepan from the heat.
Allow the rice to sit, covered, for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
Remove the lid and gently stir or fluff the rice.
If the rice is too thick, stir in a small amount of warm broth or water until the desired consistency is reached.
Serve hot as a side dish.
