Cook safely
Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.
- Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
- Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

- Combine the margarine or butter and sage in a 12 x 7 1/2 x 2-inch microwave-safe baking dish. Microcook, uncovered, on HIGH for 30 to 60 seconds. Rinse chicken and pat dry. Add to dish, turning once to coat well. Add green pepper and mushrooms. Cover with vented microwave-safe plastic wrap and cook on HIGH for 8 to 10 minutes or until chicken is tender and no longer pink, turning chicken over and rearranging once. Remove chicken and vegetables from dish with a slotted spoon. Stir tomato sauce, oregano, garlic powder and lemon pepper into the drippings in pan. Cook, covered, on HIGH until hot and bubbly, about 3 to 4 minutes. Meanwhile, wrap each piece of chicken with a cheese slice, then a ham slice. Place in dish on top of sauce. Top with the cooked vegetables. Cook on HIGH, covered, for 3 to 5 minutes until heated through, giving dish a half-turn once. Serve with hot cooked rice or spaghetti.
