Combine the rice, water, and half the salt in a small saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and cornstarch until the cornstarch is dissolved.
Heat half the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with the remaining salt. Add the chicken strips to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 3 minutes, flip, and cook for 2 minutes more. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Transfer the chicken to a plate. Add the remaining oil and the broccoli to the skillet with a splash of water. Cover and steam for 3 minutes until tender and bright green. Return the chicken and any juices to the pan.
Pour the soy sauce mixture into the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and broccoli evenly.
Fluff the rice with a fork and scoop it onto a plate. Top with the chicken and broccoli stir-fry.
