Method
 

  1. Cook rice according to package directions.
  2. Steam broccoli until fork tender. Set aside.
  3. Cut chicken into small, bite-sized pieces.
  4. Toss chicken with olive oil and all spices. Lay flat in the air fryer and cook at 400F for 12 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160F.
  5. While the chicken is cooking, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, sriracha, sesame oil, and ground ginger in a sauce pot. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, add the arrowroot slurry and let it boil for 4-5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
