Increase heat to medium-high, add white wine, and stir for approximately 5 minutes until slightly reduced. Remove 3 tablespoons of the sauce for serving and set aside.

Add uncooked rice to the skillet with remaining sauce, stirring to coat evenly. Pour in chicken broth and add remaining salt. Bring to a gentle boil, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until rice is tender.

Sprinkle grated Parmesan over the cooked rice, then arrange the chicken tenders on top. Cover, remove from heat, and let stand for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
