In a small saucepan, combine the rice and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
While the rice cooks, toss the chicken pieces in a bowl with half the cornstarch and the salt until evenly coated. In a small jar, whisk together the remaining cornstarch, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and red pepper flakes.
Heat the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook for 4 minutes, flip, and cook for 3 minutes more. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
While the chicken finishes, place the broccoli in a microwave-safe bowl with a splash of water. Cover and microwave for 3 minutes until tender-crisp.
Reduce the skillet heat to medium. Add the garlic and ginger to the chicken and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the soy sauce mixture and cook for 2 minutes, tossing constantly, until the sauce has thickened and coats the meat.
Fluff the rice and serve it alongside the glazed chicken and steamed broccoli.
