Instructions

Prepare the teriyaki sauce by whisking together soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and cornstarch in a bowl.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook seasoned chicken until browned and cooked through (7-10 minutes). Remove from skillet.
In the same skillet, stir-fry onions, bell peppers, and broccoli until crisp-tender (about 4 minutes).
Return chicken to the skillet along with pineapple chunks. Pour in the teriyaki sauce and cook until slightly thickened (1-2 minutes). Remove from heat.
Serve over cooked rice if desired.
