    Teriyaki Chicken and Cauliflower is one of my favorite weeknight dinners. It is quick and easy and tastes phenomenal! My top tip for this recipe is to prepare and chop all the veggies and meat. Place everything you prepare into individual bowls. Once you start cooking this recipe comes together fast.

    Start by cooking quinoa or brown rice as per package instructions. Combine soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, and cornstarch in a small bowl. Preheat a large cast-iron skillet or wok and coat with oil. Add cauliflower and cook for 5 minutes. Transfer the charred cauliflower to a medium bowl and set aside. Add chicken, garlic, and ginger to the skillet and cook until slightly charred. Whisk teriyaki sauce and pour over chicken. Stir fry for 1 minute until thickened. Return the cauliflower and stir fry for another minute. Sprinkle with chopped green onion and sesame seeds. Serve immediately with the cooked brown rice or quinoa.
