Lol, you're asking for a great deal of help yet you can't even be bothered to write a complete sentence?

Let's start with the basics. Rice:
Put rice in pot. Rinse rise until the water runs clear. Then add water to the pot until it's about 1 cm higher than the level of the rice. Put lid on. Simmer until done. Burning? Either you have a thin shitty pot or your heat is set too high. Or both.

Ok OP I got you.

Step 1: Take rice and put it in microwaveable safe bowl with a half gallon of water. Microwave for about 12-15 minutes so the rice absorbs pretty much all of the water. When its done, take it out and stir it for about 3 minutes so rice gets even exposure to the cooler air. Let sit for 30 minutes in fridge to lock in moisture.

Step 2: (While your rice is in the fridge) Take frozen boneless, skinless chicken breast and throw it in a pan with plenty of olive oil. About 2 inches. Get the heat up to about medium-high. Leave it marinate while you prepare the sauce.

Step 3: The easiest but likely most time consuming part. Take a half cup of red wine vinegar, a table spoon of salt, a cup of peanut butter, and a table spoon of mayonnaise. Whisk these together for the remainder of the time your rice is in the fridge. When your done, take out your rice and let it warm back up to room temperature.

Step 4: Go watch an episode of Archer or something cause that chicken is gonna be a while. After about 1.5 hours flip your chicken. Continue cooking (you may have to add more oil). When your done, use a serrated knife to slice the chicken into 2 decimeter wide strips. thread them onto the skewers.

Step 5: Serve. Because you just mastered Chicken Satay!

This recipe is meant to be cooked by/with kids, so for a beginner cook like yourself, it might be right up your alley. The recipe sounds solid, so I'd give it a try.

Anon, rice is practice. You use your specific size and thickness of saucepan, your tight or loosely fitting lid. Is it heavy? Is it copper? Is it cast iron? All variables that affects the simmer temp and the ratio of water to rice. Once you make rice 3-5x? You got it down to a science exactly how you like it. There are 3 ways to do it at home, all valid, but all preference. See Martha:
http://www.iptv.org/series.cfm/22758/martha_stewarts_cooking/ep:106

What I do? Almost a 2:1 ratio of water to rice. So, I never rinse rice. I like the vitamins and it's variable how much water it absorbs. So, 1 cup of rice to about 1 3/4 cup of water. Dump in saucepan. Bring to boil. Stir up grains from bottom. Cover, and reduce to simmer. Timer 20 minutes. Turn off, leave on burner if gas, remove if electric. Leave lid on another 10 minutes, don't even lift it once. Steaming will finish. If it's brown, add 5 mins to the boil, 5 minutes to the simmer, 5 mins to the steam. (Total 45 rather than 30 mins for white). But, you see, this is my formula for my 2qt pan and my serving size for 3 people, or leftovers. Experiment, tweak it, find your perfect fluffiness. You're cooking rice the rest of your life, ya know. You'll get there.

For the skewers, soak in plain yogurt and masala curry, or some kind of curry paste, or just cumin, lime zest, citrus juice.
The sauce is as complicated or simple as you want, depending on your fresh ingredients. If you keep coconut milk around, use it. If you keep mango chutney around, use it. Ginger, chunky peanut butter, garlic, cilantro (key!), and some kind of balance between hot chili and sweet brown sugar or chutney. Rice vinegar, chili paste, fish sauce, all the above. You can buy jarred stuff too, but with a good pantry going on, you almost have all the ingredients to mock it up. I like a bit of toasted black sesame in mine too.
I serve it alongside sweetened rice vinegar marinated cucumber slices, always.

It's obviously a troll post. 2 inches of oil? that's deeper than most pans. Putting frozen chicken directly into a pan? Worst cooking advice ever. Cut the chicken into 2 decimeter (aka 20 cm/ 8 inches) wide strips? That's wider than the breast is, so clearly you couldn't cut the chicken into strips that wide. A sauce made of vinegar and mayo? clearly that's bullshit. Everything in that post is bullshit.
