Cook the frozen chicken chunks according to package directions, typically in an oven or air fryer until hot and crispy.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the sauce. In a medium bowl, combine the orange juice, minced garlic, ginger paste, mirin, soy sauce, brown sugar, and orange zest.
Whisk all the sauce ingredients together until the brown sugar is dissolved.
In a large pan or wok with a steamer basket, add a small amount of water and steam the broccoli florets until tender-crisp. Remove the broccoli and set aside.
Pour the prepared sauce into the empty pan and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Pour the slurry into the simmering sauce, whisking constantly. The sauce will thicken almost immediately.
Once the chicken is cooked, add it directly to the pan with the thickened sauce.
Toss the chicken to coat it completely in the orange sauce.
Add the steamed broccoli back into the pan with the chicken and sauce.
Drizzle with toasted sesame oil and toss everything together to combine. Serve immediately.
