Cover rice with hot water. Add squeeze of lemon juice and let soak
for 5 minutes. Drain thoroughly in colander.

Heat oil in large skillet with tight fitting lid. Add rice and saute
until golden. Note: this takes about 10 minutes and you really have
to keep stirring to keep it from burning. Stir in tomatoes, peppers,
and garlic and saute 5 minutes. Add chicken base disolved in water,
and seasonings. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.

Do not remove lid while rice is cooking.

Fluff with fork.
