Teriyaki Chicken and Broccoli Meal Prep

I've really been on a meal prep kick lately. It makes the week so much easier to not have to think about lunch or dinner every day. This meal is one of my favs. I found this recipe online at  Gimme Delicious Food

Their recipe calls for brown rice, however for my low carb alternative I used a frozen riced cauliflower medley with teriyaki glaze at Sam's Club. Just pop it in the microwave and it's done. Super easy!!
