Cheesy High-Protein Boursin Casserole Recipe With White Beans & Ground Chicken (9 Ingredients) Casseroles Dinner Gluten-free Chicken Recipes High Protein Recipes High Fiber Recipes French Recipes

Boursin cheese is one of my favorite stealth ingredients. Sure, you can serve it as a tasty appetizer alongside some crackers, but I use it more and more often as an ingredient that adds tons of creamy flavor to a variety of recipes. This cheesy high-protein casserole recipe with white beans and ground chicken is so good, and I give most of the credit to Boursin!

Boursin is a delicious herb cheese spread made with garlic, parsley and chives folded into Gournay cheese. Boursin was created by François Boursin, a young cheesemaker in France. For two years, he worked on his recipe inspired by fromage frais, a traditional French dish that blends garlic, fresh cream, soft cheese, herbs, salt and pepper. François debuted this decadent cheese in 1963 and it eventually became famous. If you've not yet used Boursin as an ingredient in your cooking, let me highly recommend it!
