In a saucepan, bring the broth, rice, onion, 1 tsp garlic, chili powder, salt, and pepper to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 20 minutes or until rice is tender.

In a large skillet cook and stir the peppers, onions, parsley, basil, thyme and hot pepper sauce and remaining garlic in butter over medium heat until peppers are crisp and tender. Add tomato and peas; heat through. Remove from the heat. Add rice; keep warm.

In another skillet, cook and stir chicken in lemon juice over medium-high heat until chicken juices run clear. Add to rice mixture; toss. Sprinkle with almonds.
