Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Cut your boneless skinless chicken breasts into one-inch chunks then add your cut chicken to a zip-top bag or airtight container.
Add the coconut aminos, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, onion powder, and ginger to a small mixing bowl and whisk together. Be sure to leave out the arrowroot flour.
Add the sauce to the zip-top or airtight container with the chicken and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or up to 24 hours to marinate.
Add the avocado oil to a large pan and heat to medium heat.
Once the pan is hot, add your chicken to the pan reserving the marinade in a small bowl.
Cook the chicken on medium heat until cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
While the chicken is cooking, add the arrowroot flour to the marinade and whisk it together.
Once the chicken is done cooking, add the marinade to the chicken and stir on medium heat until the sauce has thickened, about a minute or two.
Top with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

Notes

Why is Chinese food not gluten-free? Most Chinese food is made with soy sauce, which contains gluten. It's easy to make Chinese take-out copycat recipes at home. One of our favorites to make at home is sweet and sour chicken. There are so many ways that you can serve your gluten-free teriyaki chicken. Here are some of my favorite ways to serve this dish. White rice Cauliflower rice Steamed broccoli Make a stir fry with snow peas, spring onions, and red peppers. Serve on top of spaghetti squash Fresh vegetables Here are the best ways to store and reheat your teriyaki chicken so you can enjoy it the next day. Store your leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can also freeze your chicken by putting it in an airtight container or freezer-saver bag. To reheat your chicken, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is heated through.
