Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and set them aside.
In a small mixing bowl, combine coconut aminos, monk fruit sweetener, rice vinegar, minced ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil to create the teriyaki sauce.
In a separate small bowl, mix arrowroot powder with water to create a slurry and set it aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and lightly grease with sesame oil or cooking spray.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink inside, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, pour the prepared teriyaki sauce and bring it to a gentle simmer.
Lower the heat and stir in the arrowroot slurry, cooking for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss it in the thickened sauce until evenly coated.
To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked brown rice or cauliflower rice among four serving bowls.
Top each bowl with an equal portion of the teriyaki chicken, steamed broccoli, and shredded carrots.
Garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds before serving.
