2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon arrowroot powder
3 tablespoons avocado oil
1/2 cup Whole30-compliant chicken broth
1/4 cup coconut aminos
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon Whole30-compliant fish sauce
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1 (10.8-ounce) package frozen broccoli florets, or 4 cups broccoli florets, steamed (see Tips)
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted (see Tips)
2 green onions, sliced

1
PLACE the chicken in a medium bowl and sprinkle with the pepper. Add 1 tablespoon of the arrowroot and toss to coat.
2
ON a 6-quart Instant Pot, select Saute and adjust to Normal/Medium. Add the avocado oil. When it's hot, add half the chicken and cook, stirring once, until golden brown, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining chicken. Select Cancel.
3
MEANWHILE, in a small bowl, whisk together the broth, coconut aminos, vinegar, sesame oil, fish sauce, and remaining 1 teaspoon arrowroot until the arrowroot is dissolved. Add red pepper flakes (if using).
4
RETURN all of the chicken to the pot. Pour the sauce over the chicken. Lock the lid in place. Select Manual and cook for 6 minutes. Use quick release. Stir the chicken. Let stand until slightly thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the broccoli according to package directions.
5
SERVE the chicken over the broccoli. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and green onions.

Tips: To steam fresh broccoli florets, combine in a microwave-safe bowl with 3 tablespoons water. Cover and microwave on high for 3 minutes or until crisp-tender. To toast sesame seeds, heat in a skillet over medium heat, stirring, until fragrant and lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
