In a small saucepan, combine the brown rice, water, and half the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes.
While the rice simmers, whisk the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and black pepper together in a small bowl until the honey is dissolved.
Heat the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken pieces with the remaining salt. Add the chicken to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 4 minutes without moving.
Flip the chicken pieces and add the broccoli florets to the pan. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken and broccoli. Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, tossing to coat, until the sauce has thickened to a glossy glaze. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Fluff the rice with a fork. Serve the glazed chicken and broccoli over the bed of rice, drizzling any remaining sauce from the pan over the top.
