Ingredients
1 loaf French bread (about 12 inches long)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the French bread loaf in half lengthwise to create two long pieces.
In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.
Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the cut sides of both bread halves.
Place the bread halves on a baking sheet, buttered side up.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the bread is golden and crispy on the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes.
Slice the bread into 6 equal pieces and serve warm alongside your chili.
