Saute rice in hot oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat 10 minutes or until golden. Stir in tomato, bell pepper, and garlic.

Stir together chicken base and remaining ingredients; stir into rice mixture. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes or until liquid evaporates (do not uncover while rice is cooking).
