1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped onion or green onion
2 tablespoons chopped green bell pepper
1 cup chopped cooked chicken
1/4 teaspoon salt

This recipe came from an old cookbook and has been modified for a low carb diet.

You may add a pie crust under the chicken.

If you wish, you may lower the fat content by using reduced fat cheese and sour cream. Low fat or fat free milk with 1 tablespoon of flour can replace the cream.
