Dice the chicken breast into 1-inch pieces and season with half of the sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and carrots, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent.
Add the minced garlic and dry basmati rice to the skillet, stirring for 1 minute to lightly toast the grains.
Pour in the chicken broth and the remaining sea salt and black pepper, then bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the liquid is fully absorbed.
Turn off the heat and stir in the frozen peas, fresh thyme, fresh parsley, and the cooked chicken.
Cover for 2 minutes to allow the peas to steam and the chicken to warm through before serving.
