Mince the garlic and grate the fresh ginger. Cut the raw chicken breast into 1-inch bite-sized pieces.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the orange juice, coconut aminos, honey, arrowroot powder, and sesame oil until smooth.
Heat the avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken pieces with sea salt and black pepper.
Add the chicken to the skillet and sauté, stirring occasionally, until the pieces are golden brown and cooked through, approximately 6 to 8 minutes.
While the chicken is cooking, place the raw broccoli florets into a steamer basket over boiling water. Cover and steam for 5 minutes until tender-crisp and bright green.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet with the chicken and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour the orange sauce mixture into the skillet. Stir constantly for 1 to 2 minutes as the sauce simmers and thickens into a glossy glaze that coats the chicken.
Remove from heat. Serve the glazed orange chicken immediately over the steamed broccoli and garnish with sesame seeds.
