Season the prepared chicken breast on both sides with half the salt and all of the black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5 minutes. Flip and cook for 5 minutes more until the center is opaque and firm. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Remove the chicken to a plate and let it rest. In the same skillet, add the butter and frozen peas. Sauté for 5 minutes until the peas are heated through and tender. Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, chives, and the remaining salt.
Slice the chicken breast into strips and place it on the plate alongside the buttered peas. Spoon any remaining juices from the skillet or resting plate over the chicken.
