Cut the chicken breast into 12 chunks. Place them in a small bowl and then cover with pineapple juice. Cover the bowl and let chicken marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Once the chicken has marinated, drain the pineapple juice from the bowl. Evenly distribute the chicken, pineapple, and veggies among 4 skewers. Suggested stacking per skewer: 1 slice onion, 1 slice green pepper, 1 chicken chunk, 1 pineapple chunk, 1 chicken chunk, 1 slice yellow pepper, 1 mushroom, 1 chicken chunk, 1 slice red pepper, 1 slice onion.
In a large pan sprayed with nonstick spray, cook kabobs over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway, or until desired texture is reached and chicken is cooked thoroughly.
Drizzle with teriyaki sauce immediately before serving.
