Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce. Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces .Peel, then halve carrot lengthwise, then cut into 1/4-inch half-moons. Add carrots, peppers, 1 tbsp oil and 1/2 tsp garlic salt (dbl both for 4 ppl) to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Season with pepper, then toss to combine. Roast in the middle of the oven, stirring halfway through, until golden-brown, 15-18 min.
While veggies roast, pat chicken dry with paper towels, then season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle over 1/2 tbsp Indian Spice Mix (dbl for 4 ppl). Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then chicken. Cook until golden, 1-2 min per side. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan; cook chicken in 2 batches if needed!) Transfer chicken to an unlined baking sheet. Bake in the bottom of the oven until chicken is cooked through, 12-14 min.**
While chicken roasts, add 1 1/4 cups water, 1 tbsp butter and 1/8 tsp salt (dbl all for 4 ppl) to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add rice and peas, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min. Remove the pot from heat. Set aside, still covered.
While rice cooks, roughly chop cilantro. Stir together mild curry paste and mango chutney in a large bowl. When chicken is cooked through, toss chicken in mango chutney mixture until completely coated.
Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in half the cilantro. Divide rice and roasted veggies between plates. Top with chicken, then any remaining sauce in the bowl. Sprinkle over remaining cilantro.
