Well, you did specify microwaving. DON'T wrap it in foil if you're going to microwave it!!!!!
Put it on a microwaveable plate and cover with waxed paper. Follow package directions, but if your microwave is overcooking in that amount of time, power it down to 80%.
Here's how I do it for chicken breasts that haven't been previously cooked (using the waxed paper and the plate): Cook on High for 3 minutes, then take it out, flip it over, move pieces in the center to the outside of the plate and those on the outside to the center, and cook for another minute or two, depending on how done it looked. Basically, to keep it from drying out and toughening up, just don't overcook it.
