INGREDIENTS

5.5 oz chicken breast

1.5 cup broccoli florets

0.25 cup fresh orange juice

1 tbsp tamari

0.5 tsp honey

1 tsp arrowroot powder

1 tsp fresh ginger

1 clove garlic

1 tbsp rice vinegar

0.5 cup cooked brown rice

0.5 tsp sesame seeds

0.5 tsp avocado oil

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

• 2

  Dice the chicken breast into uniform 1-inch cubes and place them in a bowl, tossing with avocado oil, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 3

  Spread the seasoned chicken cubes across the baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 10 minutes.

• 4

  While the chicken is in the oven, whisk together the orange juice, tamari, honey, arrowroot powder, minced ginger, minced garlic, and rice vinegar in a small bowl until smooth.

• 5

  Remove the baking sheet from the oven and add the broccoli florets to the tray, then pour half of the prepared orange sauce over the chicken and broccoli.

• 6

  Toss everything gently to coat and return the tray to the oven for another 10 to 12 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the broccoli is tender-crisp.

• 7

  Pour the remaining sauce into a small saucepan over medium heat and simmer for 2 minutes until it thickens into a glossy glaze.

• 8

  Serve the baked chicken and broccoli over a bed of warm brown rice, drizzling with the extra thickened sauce and garnishing with sesame seeds.
