CHICKEN BROCCOLI QUICHE

Chicken Broccoli Quiche image

This recipe was born by surveying the contents of the fridge and trying to turn the contents of several plastic containers into something delicious. This is a great use for leftover rice and can be made with any combination of leftover meats and vegetables you like. We've tried it with ham, bacon and crab meat. We also like adding peppers, black olives and tomatoes.

1 1/2 cups cooked rice
