Instructions

Prepare all ingredients ahead of time as the cooking process is quick.
To blanch broccoli, place florets in a microwave-safe bowl, cover, and microwave on high for 2 minutes, stir, and microwave for an additional minute or until slightly tender.
Toss the sliced chicken with arrowroot flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and 1 tbsp of coconut aminos. Whisk together the sauce ingredients in a separate bowl until fully combined.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat, adding the avocado oil. Once hot, add the chicken in a single layer and sear for about 3 minutes. Flip and cook another 2 minutes or until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Keep the juices in the skillet, lowering the heat to medium. Add the white parts of the scallions, garlic, and ginger, and sauté until fragrant. Then, add the blanched broccoli and chicken back into the skillet along with the stir fry sauce, stirring to coat everything well. Cook until flavors combine and heated through.
Serve hot over rice or cauliflower rice, garnished with green scallions.

Notes

For a thicker sauce, let it cook a bit longer after adding the chicken and broccoli.
Feel free to substitute other vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas for added variety.
This dish can also be meal prepped for easy lunches throughout the week.
