In a small pot, combine the rice, the first portion of water, and a pinch of the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let the rice rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
While the rice simmers, heat half the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken pieces with the remaining salt and the black pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 4 minutes, flipping once halfway.
Move the chicken to the edges of the pan and add the remaining oil and the broccoli florets to the center. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring the broccoli often, until it is bright green and tender-crisp.
Add the minced garlic to the center of the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the soy sauce and the second portion of water. Toss everything together, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Simmer for 1 minute until the sauce reduces to a light glaze. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Fluff the rice with a fork and spoon it onto a plate. Top with the chicken and broccoli, pouring any remaining pan sauce over the top.
