Recipe adapted from Chef In Trainings Cheesesteak Dip

My version is below:

low carb Chicken Cheesesteak Dip- Serves 6 people as an appetizer
3/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
3/4 cup chopped onion
1 1/2 cups cooked chicken, chopped small
1/2 cup mayonnaise
8 oz cream cheese at room temperature
4 oz provolone cheese, shredded or chopped small
2 Tbsp olive oil

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
In a 10 inch cast iron skillet (or oven safe skillet), heat olive oil over medium high heat.
Saute the onions and green bell pepper for 5-7 minutes until the onion are translucent and the peppers have started to brown on the edges.
Then add in the chicken and stir to combine.
Cube up the cream cheese block into about 8-10 pieces and drop that into the skillet. Let it sit for a few seconds to warm up and then stir in carefully.
Then add in the mayo, switch to a spatula and fold everything together.
Turn off the heat.
Then add in the provolone cheese, fold together again and then smooth into a single flat layer.
Pop into the oven for 20-25 minutes until it is golden brown and bubbly.

Be careful because the pan will be very hot.
Let sit for a few minutes before digging in!
