Drain pineapple, reserving the juice in a separate bowl.
In a saucepan combine water, cornstarch, brown sugar and salt. Stir until mixture is smooth.
Add the pineapple juice to the saucepan. Cook over medium heat about 5 to 7 minutes, until mixture starts to thicken.
Add chicken, soy sauce, and vinegar. Cover and simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add pineapple chunks, onions, and green peppers to chicken mixture. Cook until vegetables are slightly tender.
Just before serving, stir in chopped tomato.
Serve over hot cooked rice.
I like 1 cup water. It makes the sauce not quite so strong.
I like to cut up the pineapple chunks. You can also use tidbits.
