STAPLE INGREDIENTS

For Rice:

Bring bone broth to a boil over high heat in a medium saucepan.
Add rice, butter, and garlic powder to the pan, stirring to combine.
Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover with a lid, and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
Remove the pan from heat and allow it to sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

For Chicken:

Finely chop broccoli, ginger, and mince garlic.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sesame oil, ground chicken, arrowroot powder, paprika, and black pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, breaking up the chicken as it browns.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the sauce by combining teriyaki sauce, tamari, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, sriracha, black pepper, and chili flakes in a bowl.
Once the chicken is browned, add butter, minced garlic, fresh ginger, and cashews to the skillet. Cook for a couple of minutes.
Add 2/3 of the sauce, broccoli, and pickled ginger to the skillet. Stir and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Chop green onions for topping.
Serve the cashew chicken over rice, drizzle with the reserved sauce, and top with sesame seeds and green onions.
