Chicken Satay Stir-Fry with Orange Scented Jasmine Rice (Rachael Ray Recipe)

I discovered this Rachael Ray recipe a few years ago and it's one of the best things I've ever made!  While Rachael Ray lists this recipe under "30 Minute Meals," it really takes a lot longer than that if you lack the luxury of having kitchen minions doing all the chopping for you (or maybe I'm just slow). :-/  However, once you get down to it, it's not that difficult to make, and totally worthwhile.  The first time I tried this recipe was also one of the few times R. and I cooked together, and we were both blown away by the result.  R. even called it "restaurant quality"!  Personally, I love the orange-ginger combination, and throwing orange zest in the rice was just an absolutely brilliant idea.  I have a sweet little rice cooker, so instead of following the directions on the recipe, I just put the orange right in with the rice, and it comes out perfectly every time.  Yum!
