I don't cook much in the microwave, but I do make chicken for sandwiches. I cut up a piece so it cooks faster (no bones) and microwave it a couple of minutes at a time, checking it in between times. If you have more than one piece on a plate, rearrange them each time so they all get zapped at more or less the same rate. Things like casseroles and soups have to be stirred at least once during cooking because microwaves cook very unevenly. The outside of a bowl of food can be cold while the center can be boiling. What have you tried making?

I tried cakes and cookies and some Indian dishes like gajar ka halwa (gajar = carrot, halwa = kind of pudding), idli, paneer tikka (paneer = cheese)..

I generally use the microwave for warming or heating things rather than for cooking. Sometimes I will cook something, such as heating a can of something. I have found that I like cooking eggs in the microwave oven from time to time.
