1

Instructions
Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and toss with tapioca starch, garlic powder, ginger, salt, and pepper.
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and cook chicken until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
In a bowl, whisk together orange juice, orange zest, honey, tomato paste, tamari, and sesame oil.
Add vegetables to the pan and stir-fry until tender, then pour in the sauce and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Serve the chicken and vegetables over cooked jasmine rice, garnished with chopped green onion.

For a lower sodium option, reduce soy sauce and use low-sodium broth.
