  4. Gradually pour in the chicken broth, mixing until the bread is moistened but not soggy.
  5. Stir in the fresh parsley, if using.
  6. Using your hands or a spoon, form the stuffing mixture into 1-inch to 2-inch balls.
  7. Place the stuffing balls on a baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 60 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
