Add arrowroot powder to the chicken mixture and stir until fully incorporated. Add the liquid back in and stir. Place frozen veggies on top of the chicken mixture, place the lid back on and let cook for another 10-15 minutes or until veggies are a steamed texture. Stir just until combined and serve with rice of your choice. Top with sesame seeds (optional)
