To a pressure cooker, add water, long grain white rice, and butter.
Lock the lid, set the valve to sealing, and cook on the rice setting for 15 minutes under pressure. When done, perform a quick release.
Place the frozen chicken chunks in an air fryer basket.
Air fry the chicken for about 10 minutes, or until cooked through and crispy.
While the chicken and rice cook, prepare the sauce. In a measuring cup or bowl, combine beef broth, dark soy sauce, regular soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, minced garlic, chili onion crunch, and honey.
Add the cornstarch to the sauce mixture and stir until fully combined and no lumps remain.
Pour the sauce into a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring constantly until it thickens and becomes glossy, which should take a few minutes.
Add the frozen broccoli florets to the simmering sauce and stir to combine.
Add the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir everything together to coat.
Serve the General Tso's chicken and broccoli over the cooked rice.
