The generally accepted date for the split between what is now called the Roman Catholic Church and what is now called the Eastern Orthodox Church is 1054 AD. The Anglican Church is generally considered to come from the time of King Henry VIII in the 1530s, although some would say that the Anglicanism originated in the Elizabethan Settlement of 1559, since Queen Mary effectively returned the Church of England to Roman Catholicism earlier in the 1550s. In any case, since the people who subsequently became Church of England were previously Roman Catholic, and not Eastern Orthodox, and since the Orthodox and the Catholics parted ways in 1054, you might say that the Anglicans broke away from the Roman Catholics, but it would be extremely difficult to say the Anglicans broke away from the Eastern Orthodox.

Anglican Catholic Answer?
No, the Anglican Church is a Communion of Catholic Believers within the Ancient Catholic Church of antiquity! Like the Church of the East, we hold to the faith Revealed by Christ and taught by the apostles .
By the eleventh century the Roman Church in an attempt to control the Church both east and west separated from our Eastern brethren and such was the dearth of communications at that time and the strength of the papacy,communion between all western catholics and the east evaporated over the next two hundred years.( This wasn't altogether so in the Middle East and in the Roman Empire.)
How-so-ever, the Anglican Catholics are Western Orthodox in practice!
