Dice the chicken breast into 1-inch pieces and season evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 6 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside; in the same skillet, melt the ghee and add the minced garlic and dry basmati rice.
Stir the rice for 2 minutes until it is lightly toasted and fragrant, then pour in the chicken bone broth.
Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes until the broth is fully absorbed.
Remove the lid and stir in the cooked chicken, frozen peas, lemon juice, and lemon zest, then cover again for 2 minutes to allow the peas to steam.
Fluff the rice with a fork and fold in the freshly chopped parsley and dill before serving warm.
