Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, and cornstarch until smooth.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken pieces seasoned with salt and pepper until golden brown and cooked through (about 7-10 minutes). Transfer to a plate.
In the same skillet, add more oil and sauté chopped onions, bell peppers, and broccoli for about 4 minutes until crisp-tender.
Return chicken to the skillet along with pineapple chunks. Pour teriyaki sauce over everything and stir well; cook for another 1-2 minutes until thickened.
Serve over cooked rice if desired and garnish with chopped green onions.
