Add the rice and water to a small pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, 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 the soy sauce and cornstarch until the powder is fully dissolved.
Heat half the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken pieces with salt. Add the chicken to the pan in a single layer and cook for 3 minutes, flip, and cook for 2 minutes more until browned and opaque. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Transfer the chicken to a plate. Add the remaining oil to the skillet along with the broccoli, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 4 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
Return the chicken to the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce mixture and toss everything together for 1 minute until the sauce bubbles and thickens to a glossy coating.
