Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch bite-sized cubes and chop the broccoli into small, uniform florets.
Place the chicken and broccoli on the prepared baking sheet, drizzle with avocado oil, and season with sea salt and black pepper, tossing to coat evenly.
Spread the chicken and broccoli in a single layer and roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the broccoli is tender-crisp.
While the chicken roasts, prepare the sauce by whisking together the orange juice, orange zest, coconut aminos, rice vinegar, honey, minced ginger, minced garlic, and arrowroot powder in a small saucepan.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer, whisking constantly for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens into a glossy glaze.
Prepare the cauliflower rice by steaming it in a separate pan or microwave according to package directions.
Once the chicken and broccoli are done, transfer them to a large bowl, pour the orange glaze over them, and toss until every piece is well-coated.
Serve the orange chicken and broccoli over the bed of cauliflower rice and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
