First, blanch the broccoli florets in the microwave, place them in a large microwavable bowl and microwave on high for 2 minutes, stir and heat again for another minute or until they are slightly tender.
Mix together the sauce by combining the arrowroot powder, coconut aminos and Sriracha in a small bowl then set aside.
Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium high heat and add the oil. Once hot, add the chopped chicken with salt and pepper in a single layer. Sear for about 3 minutes, flip, and cook another 2 minutes or so or until cooked through. Remove to a plate and set aside.
Keep the pan juices and oil in the skillet and lower the heat to medium. Add the white part of the scallions, garlic and ginger and sauté until fragrant. Add the broccoli and chicken to the skillet, then the sauce and stir to coat well. The sauce should thicken right away so only cook long enough to combine flavors and heat through.
Remove from heat and serve hot over cauliflower rice or regular rice and garnish with the green part of the scallions. Enjoy!

Marinate the chicken in the sauce for a few hours to infuse it with more flavor and help tenderize the meat.
Thinly slice the chicken against the grain of the meat to make it more tender and easier to chew.
Be sure to only blanch the broccoli to keep it crunchy and vibrant green and not cook it all the way through.
