Utensils

  • Mixing bowls
  • Skillet

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine all sauce ingredients and whisk well. Set aside. In a separate mixing bowl, combine chicken pieces, arrowroot, baking soda, sea salt, and garlic powder. Mix well until the chicken pieces are coated evenly and set aside.

Heat a skillet over medium and add 1 Tbsp olive oil. Once heated, saute the broccoli rice, mixing well until tender (approx. 3-4 mins.), and add cooked broccoli rice to serving bowls.

Next, to the same skillet, add another Tbsp of olive oil over medium, and once heated, add the chicken. Stir well for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is golden on all sides and cooked through.

Next, pour the orange sauce over the chicken and mix well, reducing the heat to medium-low and scraping up any browned bits. The sauce will thicken as it cooks for 1 minute or so, keep stirring until thick and covering the chicken.

Serve chicken over broccoli rice and garnish with sliced scallions. Leftovers will keep for up to 4 days when stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
