Arrange chicken rolls, seam side down, in an 8" round Microwave-safe baking dish. Sprinkle with additional apple pie spice. Cover with plastic wrap and turn back one corner to vent steam. Cook on High for 6-8 minutes or for low wattage ovens for 7-9 minutes or until chicken is tender and no pink remains, giving the dish a half-turn and rearranging the rolls after 4 minutes.
