1. Cut up chicken into bite size pieces; coat in flour mixture; heat the oil in the skillet; add chicken and green peppers and onion and fry over medium heat til cooked through. Add the rum, cook 30 seconds; Add pinapple chunks and cook an additional 1 minute.

2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the pinapple juice, brown sugar, and vinegar.

3. You should still have a small amount of pinapple juice in can of pinapple. Take 2 TBS of this juice and add corn starch to make a paste. Set aside. You will be adding this to the whole mixture later.

4. Pour the sweet and sour sauce over the chicken and cook 1 minute; Now add the reserved pinapple juice/corn starch paste to the skillet. Cook until thickens.

5. Top with green onions. I serve this with jasmine rice.
