In a small pot, combine the dry quinoa with 0.5 cup water and a pinch of salt; bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on low for 15 minutes.
While the quinoa simmers, dice the raw chicken breast into 1-inch pieces and season them evenly with the sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the chicken for 5-6 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Add the raw broccoli florets and two tablespoons of water to the skillet, then cover with a lid for 3 minutes to steam the florets until tender-crisp.
Remove the lid and stir in the minced garlic, grated fresh ginger, coconut aminos, and toasted sesame oil, tossing for 1 minute to glaze the ingredients.
Divide the fluffy cooked quinoa into a bowl, top with the savory chicken and broccoli mixture, and garnish with sliced green onion and sesame seeds.
