In a mixing bowl, combine chicken cubes with cornstarch until evenly coated. Shake off excess cornstarch.

Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the coated chicken cubes and cook until lightly golden on all sides. Remove chicken from skillet and place on a paper towel.

In a mixing bowl, zest oranges, add orange juice (discarding seeds), minced garlic, grated ginger, low-sodium soy sauce, and low-sodium barbecue sauce. Whisk to combine.

Pour sauce mixture into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Add cooked chicken and toss to coat.

Cook on medium heat until the sauce has thickened to desired consistency, about 10 minutes.

Remove chicken with a slotted spoon, place on a serving platter, and garnish with sliced green onions, if desired. Serve with a side of your choice, such as fried rice with cabbage, or cauliflower fried rice.
