Bring the coconut milk, chicken stock, habanero chilli and 1 tsp sea salt to the boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat.
Add the rice and stir to combine and return to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until tender (25-30 minutes).
Remove from the heat and let it rest for 10 minutes, then strain off any excess liquid. Discard the chilli and spread the rice on a tray to cool to room temperature.
Blanch the peas until tender and then drain and submerge in ice water. Once cooled, place the peas in a bowl with the cooled rice, spring onions, olive oil, lime juice and orange juice. Season to taste, stir to combine and refrigerate until required.
Heat a barbecue to medium heat. Place the chicken onto the barbecue, turning often, until browned and cooked through.
Serve hot with the rice and pea salad and lime wedges.
