Heat olive oil and butter in a large deep skillet or dutch oven over medium heat.

Add chicken thighs. Cook for 5 minutes until browned on all sides (doesn't need to be cooked through).

Add onion and carrots. Sauté for 3 minutes until softened.

Stir in garlic, uncooked white rice, dried thyme, dried parsley, salt, and pepper. Toast the rice for 1 minute.

Pour in chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then heat to low, cover tight with a lid, and for 20 minutes.

Turn off heat. Quickly stir in frozen peas, cover again, and let sit for 5 minutes. The steam will cook the peas and fluff the rice.

Fluff with a fork and serve.
