In a small saucepan, combine the rice, water, and half the salt. 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.
While the rice cooks, in a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes until the cornstarch is dissolved.
Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the chicken pieces dry and season with the remaining salt. Add the chicken to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 3 minutes. Flip and cook for 2 minutes more until browned but not fully cooked through.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet with the chicken. Add 2 tablespoons of water, cover with a lid, and steam for 3 to 4 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and crisp-tender.
Remove the lid and pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken and broccoli. Toss constantly for 2 minutes until the sauce bubbles and thickens to a glossy glaze that coats everything. Done when chicken is opaque in the center, 165°F.
Fluff the rice with a fork and place it on a plate. Top with the honey garlic chicken and broccoli and serve immediately.
