Spicy Rice

Heat oil in a 4-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and saute for 30 seconds. Add chicken and saute until flesh is opaque, about 3 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.

Add scallions, celery and bell peppers and saute until softened, about 2 minutes. Add rice and stir for 1 minute. Add broth, tomatoes and their juice, chili powder, hot pepper sauce, basil, oregano, cayenne and cumin. Bring to a boil, stirring. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 25 minutes. Add the frozen peas and chicken and cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Season with salt.
