Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chicken thighs to the pot and season with 1 tablespoon of lemon pepper seasoning. Cook until browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side.
Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced carrots and peas. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.
Add the rinsed basmati rice to the pot and stir to coat the rice with the oil and vegetables.
Pour in 4 cups of water and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir well.
Return the chicken thighs to the pot, placing them on top of the rice.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon pepper seasoning over the chicken and rice.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the chicken is tender.
Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes before serving.
Fluff the rice with a fork and serve the spiced chicken and vegetable rice warm.
