   chicken and pat dry.  Add to dish, turning once to
   coat well.  Add green pepper and mushrooms.  Cover

   and no longer pink, turning chicken over and

   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
