Leftover rice= awesome

Leftover rice can seriously suck because it is kinda dry and never warms up right.  But it can make really awesome things.  I like to make this cheesy rice that is kinda like a ghetto risotto or a cheese rice a roni.

Take about a cup of cooked rice and add to skillet with 1/4 - 1/3 cup of chicken broth and some salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder.  Cook over medium low heat until the rice has absorbed all the chicken broth.  Toss in some chopped broccoli, I use frozen and heat it up a tiny in the microwave first.  Add about a 1/3 cup of milk at the same time as the broccoli. Turn the heat up to medium when almost all the milk is absorbed stir in a tablespoon of sour cream and sprinkle a little bit (couple tablespoons) of cheese on top to stir in.  (I use mozzarella most often but anything will work)
