In a small pot, combine the dry jasmine rice with 0.5 cup water; bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on low for 15 minutes.
While rice cooks, cut the raw chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and toss in a bowl with arrowroot powder, sea salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Mince the garlic and grate the fresh ginger; whisk together the coconut aminos, honey, and rice vinegar in a small bowl.
Place the raw broccoli florets in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 5 minutes until tender-crisp.
Heat the avocado oil and sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken to the skillet in a single layer and sear for 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and the whole dried red chili, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet and toss with the chicken for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens into a glossy glaze.
Serve the glazed chicken immediately over the cooked jasmine rice with a side of steamed broccoli.
