No, it is not a good idea. Thawing in the microwave speeds up bacterial growth. Any kind of meat that reaches room temperature should be cooked immediately, you can then freeze it. The only time you can refreeze meat is if it is still very cold or still partially frozen.

The USDA only recommends refreezing meat if it has been thawed under refrigeration. Thawing meat in the microwave is not thawing it under refrigeration.
