Rinse rice in cold water until water runs clear. Bring broth to boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in rice. Turn heat down to low and cover with lid. Cook for 15-20 minutes, until broth is mostly absorbed and rice is tender. Fluff with a fork.
Add the butter, garlic powder, and broccoli. Give it a good stir, cover, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Stir in cheese until melted and add a splash of milk or half in half if you desire a creamier consistency.
