Yes you can use bouillon instead of stock.

Bouillon is basically just dried out stock that is made into powder or cube form.

So when a recipe calls for stock and you have bouillon powder or bouillon cubes you can use the bouillon as a substitute for stock.

Better Than Bouillon is healthier than other Bouillon and bouillon cubes as Better Than Bouillon contains a 1/3 less salt and sodium than regular bouillon does.

The better than bouillon concentrated bases are made from meat, poultry, seafood and vegetables and they contain no added MSG, low or no fat, lower sodium which makes it healthy when compared to regular bouillon.

1 tablespoon of bouillon granules equals to 1 bouillon cube.

There is 1 bouillon cube in 1 tablespoon of bouillon granules.

1 bouillon cube equals 1 tablespoon of bouillon granules and 2 bouillon cubes equal 2 tablespoons of bouillon granules.

There is some chicken in chicken bouillon but not actually the chicken meat.

Instead the chicken bouillon contains chicken fat and chicken protein which gives the chicken bouillon the chicken flavor.

Chicken Bouillon is made from things such as dehydrated vegetables, meat stock, a small portion of fat, MSG, salt, and seasonings, shaped into a small cube.

So the chicken bouillon does contain some chicken but mostly the fat and some chicken meat stock and seasonings to make it taste like chicken.
