Preheat a wok or large skillet on low. In a bowl, combine chicken broth, vinegar, soy sauce and brown sugar. Turn heat up to high. Pour in 1 teaspoon canola oil and, once hot, add half of chicken and sauté until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove to a plate. Repeat with 1/2 teaspoon oil and remaining chicken.

Add vegetables and 1 1/2 teaspoon oil to wok; sauté until tender, about 3 minutes. Add garlic; sauté 1 minute.

Return chicken to wok; add pineapple, if desired. Pour in chicken broth mixture and stir well. Add cornstarch and stir until sauce thickens and becomes shiny. Serve over rice if desired.
