Clucking Good Garlic Bread

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2: Slice the French bread or baguette lengthwise, creating two halves. Place them cut-side up on a baking sheet.

Step 3: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chicken bouillon powder, fresh parsley, and salt (if using). Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 4: Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bread.

Step 5: Place the baking sheet with the prepared garlic bread into the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the bread is crispy and lightly golden.

Step 6: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice the garlic bread into desired portions and serve warm.
