A Few Notes: This marinade yields enough for 4 chicken breasts. I always use 2, but don't be afraid to slice up 4. 6-inch skewers make the cooking process painless — large skewers won't fit into the pan, and they'll burn if propped against the edge of the pan for too long. If you only have large skewers, break them. To rinse rice: place it in a large bowl, fill it with cold water, swoosh the rice around a little bit; then tip the bowl to dump out the cloudy water. Repeat this process 3 to 4 more times. You don't have to rinse it until the water runs clear, but rinsing 4 to 5 times will make a difference. Drain the rice by placing it in a fine-meshed colander, and letting it hang over a bowl for a few minutes to allow the excess water to drain out.
