In a small saucepan, combine the rice, part of the water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes.
While the rice cooks, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, ginger, and cornstarch in a small bowl. Set aside.
Heat half the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces in a single layer and cook for 4 minutes, flip, and cook for 3 minutes more until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Wipe out the skillet and heat the remaining oil over medium heat. Add the broccoli and a splash of the remaining water, cover, and steam for 3 minutes. Uncover and add the garlic, stirring for 1 minute until fragrant.
Return the chicken and any juices to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour the honey mixture over the top. Stir constantly for 2 minutes until the sauce has thickened and coated the chicken and vegetables.
